The 50-year-old coached the Cote d'Ivoire striker during his time at Chelsea, and admitted they forged a friendship which supercedes their professional connection.
"Dider Drogba was a great player for me, a great friend and someone that will stay in my life forever. We created emotional links that go further than football," he told reporters at a press conference.
"[Wesley] Sneijder and Drogba have been important players for me in the past but tomorrow they will be my friends, not the players in my team."
Mourinho went on to praise Drogba's current coach at Galatasaray, Fatih Terim, and warned of the qualities of the Super Lig champions' star attacking trio.
