The then Real Madrid boss had high hopes for midfielder Jose Rodriguez, and made him the youngest player to play for the club in the Champions League
Jose Rodriguez says Jose Mourinho told him that he was going to be "the most famous gypsy in the world" ahead of his Real Madrid debut.
Rodriguez made just four appearances for Real's senior side, playing one minute in La Liga.
Nevertheless, the 23-year-old, who has since played for the likes of Deportivo La Coruna, Galatasaray, Mainz and Maccabi Tel Aviv, says Mourinho had high hopes for him, and a unique way of expressing as much!
