Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho believes that Zlatan Ibrahimovich has big shoes to fill, namely those left by Samuel Eto'o.

The recent swap of superstars between Inter and Barcelona has left many observers wondering which club received the shorter end of the stick.

Nonetheless, the far from humble coach was appreciative of the Swede's services.

"We will not forget a player who has been so important to us, and I, as a coach, do not forget the players who have made significant contributions.
