Jose Mourinho says that Brendan Rodgers deserves to be given the chance of managing Liverpool.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has declared himself "very pleased" with Brendan Rodgers's appointment at Liverpool.

The pair worked together during Mourinho's stint as manager of Chelsea and the Portuguese has spoken highly of his former Blues reserve team coach.

Mourinho said that the Northern Irishman deserves his shot at Anfield after doing an "amazing" job at Swansea City.

"I am very happy with his appointment at Liverpool, especially because he did it as a consequence of all his amazing work at Swansea," Mourinho told The Sun.

"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."

Rodgers left Chelsea in 2008 to take control of Watford.
