Jose Mourinho gifts €800 shoes to Roma teenager, Afena-Gyan's reaction is priceless; WATCH

Even though AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho is often associated with getting involved in controversies, he does have a genuine side to him that often goes unnoticed.

In a recent instance, the Portuguese manager delivered on his promise when he bought rising talent Felix Afena Gyan a pair of €800 shoes that the footballer wanted. The 18-year old scored a fantastic brace against Genoa on Sunday to help the Giallorossi defeat their Serie A rivals 2-0.

While speaking at his post-match interview, Jose Mourinho said, "I had promised to buy Felix the boots he really likes, which are really expensive, they cost €800, so he ran over and told me not to forget! Tomorrow morning, the first thing I do is buy him the boots." The 18-year old Ghanian was extremely impressive in AS Roma's 2-0 win over Genoa as he scored two goals, including a stunner from outside the box, as seen in the video below.

The 58-year old coach then hilariously addressed Primavera, who is AS Roma's youth team, that Felix will stay with them long after such an impressive cameo.

"I am sorry for Mister De Rossi and the Primavera squad, but Felix will stay with us. The Primavera work close to us, so Felix and another four or five players have come across to the senior squad. What impressed me the most was his cool head in front of the goal. If he is not in terms of technique fantastic, he does have a strong mentality. You get these kids now who think they know everything, but he is humble, and you can sense he just absorbs all this information from everyone around him. That's fantastic," said Mourinho.
