A huge transfer to Premier League was the transfer of Didier Drogbas to Chelsea from Marseille, where she found Mourinho.

And after that transfer Mourinho had shown that he had persuaded Roman Abramovich to sign Drogbe instead of Ronaldinho.

In 2004, Roman Abramovich told me he had money to bring Ronaldinho to Chelsea if I wanted to... I said no. Get me Didier Drogba”.

So Drogba practically owes his entire professional career to Jose Mourinho, since he was the Portuguese manager who took him out of darkness and made him a superstar, writes Periscope.

“Drogba had already played for Guingamp, Marseilles, Le Mans, so when I took him to Chelsea I clearly remember Abramovich asking me, Who? Who do you want as an attacker?

He was phenomenal. There are players with their character and personality, who are important from day one until the last day in their career, ” had said Mourinho.

We remember that Drogba is considered one of the best attackers in modern football history and certainly the best quarterback in the short but successful Chelsea story.

He left Chelsea to return from Galatasaray during the 2014-2015 season. /Periscope. com/
