10 Players Who Declined Under Mourinho 1

Now not many people may know of this guy, but he had a long ongoing feud with Jose Mourinho after arriving in Spain.

Several fall-outs with the manager saw Pedro Leon only make 6 La Liga appearances in three years before he was eventually sold to Getafe.

The first incident between Mourinho and Pedro came when the winger assumed he’d be starting a Champions League game. In doing so, he was dropped from the match-day squad by Mourinho and then ridiculed by the manager in the press.

Pedro was then involved in a fight with team-mate Fernando Gago during training, but the winger was punished more so than the midfielder, as he was dropped from the next game, whilst Gago started.

The Madrid player then blamed Mourinho TWICE for blocking potential moves away from the club. Once to Premier League side Chelsea and then once to Spanish side Hércules CF.
