Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho has replied a young Aston Villa fan, Jude Branson who pleaded with him to come and manage his struggling club.
According to reports, the 6-year old wrote the touching plea on a white paper to Mourinho last week, urging him to come and manage Aston Villa and bring prolific goal banger, Diego Costa to the club.
In his message, Jude wrote: ‘Dear Mr Mourinho, My name is Jude. I am 6 years old and I support Aston Villa. You are my favourite manager. Please could you manage Villa and bring Costa with you? We need help. Thank you Jude Branson.’
Former coach of struggling Aston Villa, Paul Lambert was recently sacked following a 2 – o defeat to Hull City, leading the young fan to reach out to the former Real Madrid boss.
Meanwhile, Jude’s father, Phil Branson confirmed his son received a signed mail addressed to him from Jose Mourinho as regards his plea, with the Chelsea boss sending him an autographed photograph of himself.
‘Jude had a nice surprise today when he came back home from school to find that Jose had sent him a signed picture addressed to himself, the only thing he wanted from his letter was for Mourinho to take over at Villa. He he didn’t get that! So the next best thing for him is definitely this acknowledgement from the man himself,’ Phil said.
