"Materazzi told me he would retire, because following this experience together, he couldn't have another coach after me."

Wow. If you've ever wondered to what extent Mourinho's cultish mind control techniques consume his players and drives them to do his bidding, this should prove it.

Of course, Materazzi is 36 years old and becoming more and more of a fringe player at Inter, so this could very well just be another tall tale soundbite for Mourinho to pump up his own legend. So, yeah, it's probably that.
