FOOTBALL Jose Mourinho reveals the 'best' Egyptian legend he loves, and it's not Mo Salah
Mourinho has heaped praise on the "best" Egyptian player he has ever seen, and it is not Mo Salah, a player he coached while at Chelsea.
Salah expresses shock at Klopp's news
The Egyptian star, expecting news of a new contract, was left bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
"Usually we don't do meetings at 10.30 am, as 10.30 is the report time," Salah remarked, as reported by Sky Sports.
"It's normally a 10.30 meet time and then 12 noon training. Then they said there was a meeting at 10.30 am. I was like: 'What?'"
)
"The manager's agent was there at the training ground and I thought: 'Oh, he's renewing his contract'. And five minutes before the meeting, Virgil [van Dijk] said: 'Do you know what the meeting is about?'
"I said no. He said: 'The manager is leaving'. I said: 'Really, the manager is leaving? You serious? Why? He said: 'No idea'."
"Then the manager came in and he just said it and it was weird because no one knew before. There was nothing in the media. He didn't even prepare us for that, he just said it. That was a weird day for us and for the club."

"The Reds are all but into the Europa League quarter-finals after dispatching Sparta Prague 5-1 in the last-16 first leg in midweek - and then there is the Premier League."
