Brendan Rodgers has revealed Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has come close to taking the Liverpool job in the past. Rodgers, who explained that the ' Special One ' almost took the job, after insisting they were one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"There is no doubt that there was a period back in the early 2000s, that this club was a possibility for him," Rodgers revealed.
"Maybe resources were different and he had a better opportunity to go elsewhere but make no mistake, he knows the size and prestige of Liverpool.
"There has been a history there, what with the rivalry and it was a great rivalry between the clubs, but beneath it all he knows the power of Liverpool for sure."
