Today we are analysing one of the worst decisions in football history, Chelsea’s decision to part ways with a 22 year old Kevin De Bruyne. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but given De Bruyne’s age, stellar CV at youth level and success at Werder Bremen, you would expect a club and manager as experienced as the Blues and Jose Mourinho to give a young player more than 9 appearances before discarding him.
Hear how a young KDB overcame childhood setbacks to get to the top, how then Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp tried to sign him and the inside story of those final months at Stamford Bridge.
Now a 2 time Premier League winner, adored by his manager Pep Guardiola and arguably the best midfielder in world football, hear the background to his painful departure from Chelsea with quotes from the player himself.
Welcome back to “Everything you need to know,” our new series where we give you the background behind some of football’s defining moments. This is why Jose Mourinho Was The Reason De Bruyne Left Chelsea.
