Inter Milan hero Marco Materazzi has paid tribute to former coach Jose Mourinho.

The pair won the Treble together with Inter in 2010.

Materazzi said, “Mourinho was special, he knew the names of all our children and our wives.

“Nobody else had ever done that for me. For me it was not a big surprise, but for my wife, when he met her and said 'hello Daniela', it was."

Materazzi admits he was unhappy with Mourinho leaving for Real Madrid after the Champions League triumph.

He recalled: “I told him 'f**k you' because he was leaving me with (Rafa) Benitez."
