"Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar hung up his gloves in 2018 with an impressive medal collection. The stopper won titles in three countries, claimed a Copa America with Brazil and enjoyed a string of individual honours, not least being twice named the Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year. But when it comes to individual seasons, nothing could top his 2009/10 campaign."
"Our manager Jose Mourinho played a big role in everything that happened that night, Cesar tells FourFourTwo. He knew how to bring out the best in each of us. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. In his talk pre-match, he filled us with confidence we had won the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia and were one step away from a treble. Inter had not been European champions for 45 years, but that did not put pressure on us."
Julio Cesar retired in 2018 after a decorated career that included titles in three countries, a Copa America with Brazil and multiple individual awards, including two Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year honors. His 2009/10 season with Inter Milan stands out: under Jose Mourinho Inter won the Serie A title, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League, completing a historic treble. Inter reached their first European final in 45 years and defeated Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Diego Milito scoring twice. Mourinho's pre-match leadership boosted confidence, and the squad celebrated intensely after the victory.
