5 stars who fell out with Jose Mourinho

#4 Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne failed to break into the starting 11 at Chelsea

More than De Bruyne hating Jose Mourinho for his mistreatment at Chelsea, Mourinho will hate himself for having let go off a gem-of-a-player in Belgian sensation KDB.

Their stand-off dates back to the back end of 2013, when Mourinho gave a damning critique of the Genk and Werder Bremen starlet prior to his departure to Wolfsburg. The former Madrid boss refused to grant De Bruyne a starting place in his Chelsea team. Mourinho let go of the Manchester City star and felt he had made a great decision, because, in his words, "If De Bruyne stayed here, not happy and not motivated, and we'd sold him after a year, we'd have got less - 50 per cent less than we sold him for.

When asked why he let go of De Bruyne, the Special one responded saying “With De Bruyne, if you have a player knocking on your door and crying every day he wants to leave, you have to make a decision. He was not ready to compete. He was an upset kid, his training was very bad.”
