'Special' Brendan can bring back glory days to Liverpool: Mourinho

London, Jun 1 (ANI): Real Madrid chief Jose Mourinho believes that Liverpool's new coach Brendan Rodgers can bring back the glory days to the club.

The new Liverpool boss worked with Mourinho at Chelsea and the Special One said Rodgers is special, too.

Mourinho said Brendan deserves a chance after his brilliant work with Swansea last season, The Sun reports.

Mourinho said: "I am very happy with his appointment at Liverpool, especially because he did it as a consequence of all his amazing work at Swansea. Brendan is a good man, a family guy and a friend.

"When he joined us at Chelsea he was a young coach with lots of desire to learn. But he was also a coach with ideas, who was ready not just to listen but also to communicate and share." (ANI)
