Cantona: "I am not a fan of Mourinho's style, but of his personality yes"

Eric Cantona has confessed to being a great admirer of Jose Mourinho in an interview with 'Le Matin'. The Manchester United legend admitted he liked his methods more than how his teams actually play. "I am not a fan of his playing style, but he has a fascinating personality", he said.
"He is very intelligent, has an incredible charisma and a special way of dealing with things. He says that a coach has to be like an actor and I agree with him", he continued.
"He always deflects the attention to him; not only for his ego, but to take the pressure away from the players. People talk most about Mourinho despite him having World champions in his side'', he concluded.
Speaking about how much attention a retired player like himself pays to the current game Cantona said he only follows certain teams: "Barcelona is one of the few that interests me and of course Manchester United. And then, after that, Real Madrid because they have a coach like Mourinho".
