Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hit out at Liverpool for sacking Brendan Rodgers.

The under-fire Portuguese believes that ex-Reds boss Rodgers, who worked as youth and reserve team manager under him during his first spell in charge at Stamford Bridge should have been given more time at Anfield.

Mourinho said: “You know, I feel sorry that somebody lost his job.

“And it is quite sad that football in this moment – even in this country – is happy with it.

“I’m not speaking about Jurgen [Klopp], I’ve a good relationship with him and nothing will change that. I’m speaking about the circumstances that made Brendan [Rodgers] lose his job.

“I don’t like people being excited that a new manager is coming. I don’t like a player to say: ‘Now, we are going to give extra to prove to the new manager.’ Give to Brendan! Not to the new manager.

“I don’t like this at all. It’s part of my world I don’t like. My world is changing so much. It’s getting worse.”
