José Mourinho has said people forget about the impressive job Brendan Rodgers did in taking Liverpool to the cusp of winning the Premier League title on a tiny budget compared with the one Jürgen Klopp is working with, as his Roma team prepare to take on Leicester for a place in a European final.
Rodgers, who worked under Mourinho for three years at Chelsea, takes Leicester to the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday in the Europa Conference League semi-final with the tie finely poised after a 1-1 draw in the first leg. Rodgers can lead the club to their first European final but Mourinho is determined to cap his first season at Roma with a 26th major title.
