Milan star Luka Modric shared insights about the coaches he had a chance to work with during his career, also identifying Jose Mourinho as the most powerful and toughest coach.

According to the Croatian, the Portuguese himself played a key role in his transition to Real Madrid and was molded as a footballer.

— Mourinho is special. I as a coach, and as a person. You really want me to live in Real, and without it I wouldn’t have gotten there. Skoda, which we have driven for at least one season at a time,” Modric said.

The midfielder also came up with a moment that clearly characterizes the style of work of the Portuguese specialist.

— If you choose between Mourinho, Ancelotti and Allegri, then the worst one is Jose himself. I'm celebrating how I brought Cristiano Ronaldo to tears at the dressing table. And this is a person who is on the field for a hundred hundred thousand, especially through those who have not once escaped a rival’s henchman.

Modric said that, with all the severity of Mourinho, he would forever lose his honor from graves.

— He’s very straightforward, and even fair.. Yomu was wondering who is in front of him - Sergio Ramos and a newcomer. What needs to be said, without speaking directly. Allegre is like this: it immediately explains directly what is correct and what is not. Honesty itself is the main goal of great coaches,” the Croatian summed up.

Previously, Modric spoke about wars.
