A former Inter Milan chief has spoken about Jose Mourinho's departure to Real Madrid in 2010, stating "What could I do?" regarding the Portuguese manager's move to the Spanish capital.

The comments come from an interview published by Madrid Universal on October 29, 2026. Mourinho left Inter Milan after leading the Italian club to a historic treble in the 2009-10 season, joining Real Madrid shortly after.

The former Inter official's remarks highlight the limited options available to the club when one of Europe's most successful coaches decided to pursue a new challenge at the Santiago Bernabeu.
