Steven Gerrard made him a “better manager”, ahead of
their final Premier League meeting on Sunday.
“My dear enemy, he has made me a better manager
because to stop him has been very difficult,” Mourinho
said, adding that he tried to sign him three times.
Gerrard almost signed for Chelsea during Mourinho’s
first spell in charge of the Blues in 2005, and Mourinho
said he also wanted the Liverpool captain at Inter Milan
and Real Madrid.
“It’s too late to sign him. He can’t play against Liverpool.
He’s done an amazing career with his people. He refused
to play in other big clubs, other big leagues, to play only
for Liverpool and this is a feeling that stays together.
“Who knows if I’ll play against Steven as a Liverpool
manager some day?” he added.
