‘One of the best to have ever walked on planet Earth’ – former Chelsea star compares Roma boss Jose Mourinho to tuchel.
Roma striker Tammy Abraham has heaped praise on his manager Jose Mourinho, describing him as, ‘one of the best coaches ever.’
Abraham left Chelsea for Roma last summer after being deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku and it was Mourinho who helped convince the 24-year-old to move to the Serie A side.
It was a risk, but the £36million transfer has worked out very well so far, with Abraham scoring 24 goals and making five assists across all competitions.
His efforts have also helped Roma to the Europa Conference League semi-finals, where they will play Leicester City on Thursday night.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Abraham highlighted the impact Mourinho has had on him this season, saying: ‘He knows how to really drive you, and this is what I needed.
He’s one of them managers who doesn’t have to tell you how good you are and how good you played. He always wants more and for me and the players this is the perfect manager.
‘Jose is for me probably one of the best coaches to have ever walked on planet Earth.’
The move has been a great success for all parties, with Abraham now much higher up the pecking order when it comes to a place in the England team, with many considering him the country’s best back-up striker to Harry Kane, ahead of the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ollie Watkins.
