Inter and Real Madrid while Gerrard has admitted he thinks Mourinho would have been 'perfect' for Liverpool.
Gerrard told the Daily Mail, as part of a serialized excerpt from his new autobiography: “On March 29 this year, after a charity game at Anfield, John Terry handed me a handwritten letter, on Chelsea notepaper, from Mourinho to me, Gerrard said.
The letter read: “Dear Steve,
“I know this isn’t yet over but first of all I want to congratulate you for the fantastic career at your heart club.
“Secondly, I want to let you know my feeling of how sorry I am, for never seeing your work.
“Thirdly, enjoy the day with your friends and family and your stadium, your fans, your memories.
Fourthly, the most important thing, ‘Be happy every day of your life with the smile of your kids!’
Respect, Jose Mourinho”

“Steven Gerrard is for sure one of my favourite enemies – an enemy with all the good feeling I can express with that word in football. For sure, in England he is my dear enemy. For sure, he is the one that made me a better manager. To stop him or try and stop him has been very, very difficult.”
