Real Madrid boss Mourinho Could set for Liverpool job?
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard says he wont mind to be managed by Jose Mourinho.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says he would like to be managed by Jose Mourinho, prompting rumours that the Special One could come to Merseyside.
It is fair to say that the Reds are currently in the middle of a period of transition.
Current boss Brendan Rodgers has the task of cutting the deadwood from the squad, as well as completely altering the team’s playing style.
Still, perhaps it is also fair to say that many Liverpool fans expect the team to be doing better, and Jose Mourinho has had a near instant impact at every team he has moved to.
He won the Primeira Liga in both his full seasons at Porto, the Premier League in his debut campaign at Chelsea, and Serie A upon moving to Inter Milan.
If there is one thing Liverpool fans crave, it is league success, and apparently Gerrard feels the same way, stating that Mourinho is the man that he would love to manage him above all others.
“I would like to play for Mourinho, the Special One,” said the Reds captain.
Of course, that could hint at a Real Madrid transfer, but having turned that opportunity down a number of times in the past, perhaps that ship has sailed.
“Liverpool weren’t really challenging at the time, so there was something to think about,” said Gerrard when asked about his near-move to Chelsea when Mourinho was coach.
“But I ended up saying ‘no’ and a year later I said ‘no’ again. But he came back when he arrived at Real Madrid two years ago.
“I look at some players who get interest from clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona and they cause absolute wars to get out and get there.
“But that has never been me and, again, it just wasn’t going to happen.”
In that case, could Mourinho make the jump and move to Liverpool?
It’s unlikely, but you never know in football…
