Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has compared Jose Mourinho's exit to "a husband cheating on his wife".
After joining the Italians in 2008, Mourinho led them to the Scudetto before winning a historic treble with the club in 2009/10.
However, despite pleas from the players and club hierarchy, the Portuguese opted to leave when Real Madrid came calling in the summer.
Moratti, who had always enjoyed a good relationship with the coach, told calciomercatoweb.it: "It was like a husband cheating on his wife, but seeing as he cares for her and doesn't have the courage to admit to it, he climbed out the window."
At one point Moratti had even compared Mourinho to legendary coach Helenio Herrera, but refused to draw the same parallel this time round.
"Is Mourinho like Herrera? Football has changed," said the president.
"The coaches didn't used to be on the transfer market, but now they are. Mourinho and Herrera do have many things in common: they are genial, professional, but above all do hard work.
"‘Il Mago' worked so much and the same can be said of Mourinho."
Life under new coach Rafael Benitez has not been the smoothest so far for Inter Milan with both Samuel Eto'o and Diego Milito admitting they've already had differences with the Spaniard.
