Reason why Mourinho always wants an African striker

We all know that Jose Mourinho loves black players ranging from Didier Drogba, Jon Mikel Obi, Essien, to Eto'o.

His champions league successes with FC Porto and Inter Milan has led him to say that African Strikers are best in having UCL successes!

He once admitted that "success is always based on having an African Striker. Without an African Striker i feel like i won't succeed. My belief about African Strikers started with Benni Mccarthy at FC Porto whereby He scored more than 20 league goals to help me & FC Porto to win.

In that same season McCarthy scored very important goals for me in the Uefa Champions League that helped our careers to be well known in Europe by winning my first Champions League as a Coach "


In England with Chelsea I found Didier Drogba. He was a great African striker to win with me an English Premiership. I wanted Mccarthy to join me to partner Didier Drogba up front but at that time He was at Blackburn Rovers and He was the only hit man there. So they refused to give us Benni no matter the Offer i put on the Table "

" From Chelsea to inter Milan, there i wanted to win the Uefa Champions League so badly. But I only had two African midfielders and that was not enough for me to win UEFA Champions League as i was dominating the league only.

I approached FC Barca and they willingly sold to me the best signing of my Career Samuel E'too and the same season with Eto'o I won UEFA Champions League"

From Inter to Madrid. There at Real Madrid I had all talents but the reason I didn't win the Champions League is because I had no African Striker. I tried Adebayour but it was a loan move so Madrid does not like to use loaned Players."

" Brazil have Great attackers, but if you look at them they are of African origin. I always teach new coaches on my coaching facilities that you must always have an African Striker in your squad". Jose Mourinho admittedly said this in an interview with Goal
