Speaking to the BBC’s Football Daily podcast, Makelele spoke in glowing terms about the current Fenerbache boss.
He said, “He was like a father with a strong character, but also like a dictator. I think he needed to be like that because he had young talents at Chelsea who needed discipline.
“Mourinho realised that he could get a lot out of the group. He knew he would lead the team to success because he saw their character.”
