Abraham sings Mourinho’s praises as Roma prepare to take on Leicester City

Tammy Abraham has praised José Mourinho for breathing belief back into his game and described the Roma manager as “one of the best coaches on the planet”, as the Portuguese prepares to take charge of his first game in England since his sacking by Tottenham last year.

Mourinho will attempt to guide the Serie A club to a first‑leg victory against his former protege, the Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, in the Europa Conference League semi-finals. Abraham will hope to add to his 26-goal tally at the King Power Stadium on Thursday, when the Leicester striker Jamie Vardy could make his first start since sustaining a niggling knee injury last month.
