†We met him through an intermediary in a secret location because he
did not want the media to know. He was driven to the place in a
tourist van accompanied by his wife,†said Mzee Makthub, a reputed
Mombasa medicineman, who has acted as a consultant to many politicians
and football officials.
Makthub added: “He asked us to help him succeed in his new job. Of
course everyone who is undertaking a new assignment, even the
politicians always seek that external assistance.
“Mourinho said he was taking a tough assignment at Real Madrid and
he wanted to earn the respect of the people he was going to work
with.â€
Mourinho, 47drefused to have his photograph taken or grant interviews
with reporters during his Kenyan visit, which included a stay in the
famed Masai Mara game park.
He flew back to Europe last Sunday, only four days before he arrived
at Real Madrid on a four_year contract after leading Italian club, Inter
Milan to a historic treble last season.
