The midfielder of the Portuguese national football national football team (full name - Nuno Ricard Oliveira Ribeira) left the Moscow Dynamo and, as the end of the season, joined the Chelsea London. The corresponding statement on Wednesday was posted on the official website of the champions of England.
This transition was the second in a row by the January strengthening from Russia. Last year, Chelsea was strengthened by Irji Yaroshik from the Moscow CSKA.
Recall that Manish, along with his teammate, Kotinya became a Dynamo player in May 2005 as a result of a record for Russian football - 16 million euros. According to the Air Force, if the Portuguese manifests himself in Chelsea, the Londoners will be able to redeem the manifest for £ 5 million.
In addition, Manish did not play in European competitions this year, so Chelsea could help in the Champions League, the press service of the "aristocrats" notes.
The 28 -year -old midfielder is a former player of the Portuguese Porto, as part of which in 2004 won the Champions League on the leadership of the current coach of Chelsea Jose Mourinho. Manish became the first player to work with Mourinho in three clubs (he spent 9 matches under the leadership of the Portuguese in Benfica in 2000).
Manish admitted that the decisive factor that influenced his decision to move to Chelsea was the presence of Mourinho in the team. “He is my maestro. It would be crazy to abandon this proposal - both because of the coach, and because I have known some players for many years,” he said.
Even before the final agreement was reached on the transition of Manish to Chelsea, the player said that Mourinho became for him "more than another coach."
