Chelsea tried to sign with Philippe Coutinho when she was only 14, discovered Brendan Rodgers.
Rodgers, now Leicester coach, joined the training group under Jose Mourinho in 2004, working as youth coach and later reserve manager.
When the Irish-verior took over to Liverpool, he transferred Coutinho to 'Anfield' in 2013, conveys the news.net.
When I looked at the team in the first six months, there were several components that we missed”, Rodgers told The Beautiful Game Podcast.
“Philippe was the one I knew from my days in Chelsea, because we tried to get him to Chelsea when he was 14, but he was already engaged in Inter”.
“We talked about it during the summer and kept in touch with him, immediately he became available and at the age of 19 I thought [as Liverpool coach]:” Wow, let's get this guy”, Rodgers found out.
