Eto'o: Cameroon legend reveals why he was hurt when Mourinho joined AS Roma

The former striker also remained coy on his future as a coach stating he is enjoying what he is currently doing

Indomitable Lions legend Samuel Eto'o has conceded he was hurt by Jose Mourinho's decision to join AS Roma.

The 58-year-old coach was relieved of his duties at Tottenham on April 19, with the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager failing to convince a third Premier League employer.

The Portuguese, however, secured a move to the Serie A outfit, signing a three-year contract with them. It is a move that hurt the former Cameroon striker.
