FC Barcelona prodigy, Lionel Messi, has said Jose Mourinho will succeed in his second stint at Chelsea.
Messi described the Blues’ new boss as a ‘great manager’ but insisted Real Madrid would not be weakened by the departure of the self-tagged ‘Special One.’
“I think the Spanish league is difficult anyway and
will continue being difficult,” said Messi, who visited the Senegalese
town of Saly today as part of the Aspire Academy’s Football Combating
Malaria project.“We’ll be fighting against strong teams with great players like Real Madrid. Mourinho was a great coach but we know that Ancelotti is equally great. I think Mourinho will also succeed back at Chelsea because he’s a great manager.”
Mourinho returned for a second spell at Stamford Bridge after ending his tenure at Real Madrid at the end of last season.
The former Porto and Inter Milan coach was a divisive figure in Spain and didn’t curry much favour with.
