Cameroon legend Eto'o elated after induction into Inter Milan Wall of Fame





Goal | In the 102 matches he played for the Italian heavyweights, the newly elected Fecafoot President won six titles.


Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon believes being inducted into Inter Milan's Hall of Fame is an amazing honor.


From 2009 to 2011, the Fecafoot president played for the Italian heavyweights and helped them reach new heights. He made 102 appearances for the team, with the 2009/10 season serving as the pinnacle.


The team won the Scudetto, Coppa Italia, and the Champions League in the previous season. Along with Gianluca Pagliuca, Marco Materazzi, and Wesley Sneijder, he was inducted into the 2021 wall of fame.


"Thank you Inter Milan for the wonderful honor of inducting me into the Inter Hall Of Fame in 2021," the now-40-year-old said on his official social media account.


"With Marco Materazzi, Gianluca Pagliuca, and Wesley Sneijder, I'm in wonderful company. [Black and Blue] is something I'm quite proud of."


In the 2018 edition, Eto'o joins Walter Zenga, Javier Zanetti, Lothar Matthaus, and Ronaldo, who were all admitted. A year later, Francesco Toldo, Giacinto Facchetti, Dejan Stankovic, and Giuseppe Meazza joined them.


Julio Cesar, Giuseppe Bergomi, Esteban Cambiasso, and Diego Milito were admitted in the 2020 edition.


The former striker won the Serie A title in 2009/10, as well as two Coppa Italia titles in 2009/10 and 2010/11, during his time with the Nerazzurri.


Eto'o also assisted the team in winning the Supercoppa Italiana in 2010, the Champions League title in 2009/10, and the Fifa Club World Cup in 2010.


In 2011, the former Barcelona attacker moved to Anzhi Makhachkala, where he remained until 2013. Later, he played for Chelsea and Everton in England before returning to Italy, this time with Sampdoria.


Antalyaspor, Konyaspor, and Qatar SC were among the Cameroonian's previous clubs before retiring in 2019.


He began his career with Real Madrid, Leganes, Espanyol, and Mallorca.
