Mourinho and apprentice Rogers joked: Thank you for the gift of Portugal! Rogers: I spent a lot of money
News on Friday, April 29, 2022 Beijing time. Today's European football matches, there are still many names, the Champions League has entered the semi-finals, the Europa League is in full swing, and there is also an UEFA, which has also reached the semi-finals. Because of Mourinho and the Roma team he coached, the tournament attracted a lot of attention.
In the semi-finals, Roma drew 1-1 away to Leicester City. Feyenoord beat Marseille 3-2 at home. The second leg of the two sides will take place next week.
It is worth mentioning that the current coach who coaches Leicester City is Rogers, who is also Mourinho's apprentice at that time. When Mourinho began coaching Chelsea in 2004, he was surrounded by a team of coaching staff including Faria, Rogers and Boas. Boas is familiar to everyone, took the lead in choosing to go it alone, played well in Porto, but coaching Chelsea alone was a mess, but it made Di Matteo's Champions League title! Since then, Boas has also come to the Chinese Super League to coach Shanghai SIPG!
Faria is Mourinho's assistant all the time, following Mourinho from Porto, to Chelsea, to Inter Milan, to Real Madrid, to Manchester United, and later Faria also chose to go it alone, for unknown reasons. There are rumors that there is a gap with Mourinho, and there are also rumors that he wants to try his own level.
And Rodgers was there when Jose Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea. Chelsea U18 and U23 in charge. In 2008, Rogers went his own way, coaching Watford and Reading to Swansea. He coached Liverpool for three and a half seasons in the summer of 2012, then with the Celtics and from 2019 to Leicester City!
The two have a good relationship. In the post-match interview, Rogers was answering reporters' questions, and Mourinho came up and said: Rogers gave me a bottle of good red wine. Rogers laughed and said, "That cost me a lot of money!"
