Felix Afena-Gyan, a forward from Ghana, has expressed admiration for the renowned manager Jose Mourinho. Afena-Gyan, who was previously part of AS Roma’s youth team, was elevated to the senior squad by the Portuguese coach, and his exceptional performances immediately garnered widespread acclaim.
He regards Mourinho, the former Chelsea coach, as an extraordinary mentor and an exceptional educator. In an interview with Sports Obama on Youtube, the striker described Mourinho as a special individual who imparts valuable knowledge, emphasizing that they still maintain communication.
Afena-Gyan fondly recalled a memorable experience when Mourinho gifted him sneakers following his impressive display, including scoring two goals against Genoa in the Italian Serie A. The striker revealed his immense joy and subsequent sleeplessness due to the overwhelming praise he received for his brace.
Unfortunately, Cremonese, the team Afena-Gyan is associated with, faced relegation at the end of the season and will likely compete in Serie B in the upcoming season.
