Football Managers and Players that followed them where they went.

A thread:
The first one has to be one of the most notorious Player/Manager Relationship. Niko kranjcar and Harry Redknapp. Redknapp managed him and QPR, Portsmouth and Tottenham.
The Second one is also Harry Redknapp and Peter Crouch. Redknapp had him at Spurs, Southampton and Portsmouth. He also tried to sign him at QPR but didn’t manage to in the end.
Third on the list is Jose Mourinho and Nemanja Matic. Mourinho bought him from Benfica and they won two Premier Leagues together before Matic joined Mourinho at Manchester United. Mourinho then tried to Sign Matic from United in January but Matic started to gain form for United.
Maurizio Sarri and Jorginho have both followed each other for the last five years. Sarri managed him at Napoli for 3 years before bringing him to Chelsea. Sarri has since left but is trying to bring him to Juventus this summer.
Van Gaal Managed Bastian Schweinsteiger in 2010 for Bayern Munich before then bringing him to Manchester United . Ed Woodward described him as a player that sent shivers down the opposition side. Unfortunately this duo didn’t work out and Bastian left to go play in America.
Jose Mourinho and Zlatan. These two were a match made in heaven. Two massive egos and a desire to win. Jose managed him at Inter Milan and Man United and has always spoke positively about him. In their first season together at United they won the League Cup and Europa League.
The Last one on the list is David Moyes and Marouane Fellaini. Moyes managed him for Fellainis whole Everton career and then was one of his two signings at United. Moyes barely lasted in the Job but Fellaini stayed for 6 years.
This one is an extraordinary one. Paddy Kenny and Neil Warnock. Warnock signed Kenny FIVE times most notably at Sheffield and QPR.
Jermain Defoe and Harry Redknapp.Another one that includes Harry Redknapp. Redknapp worked with Jermain Defoe at West Ham and signed him for both Portsmouth and Tottenham.
The last one on the list is John McGovern and Brian Clough. Clough signed McGovern for Derby, Leeds and, most famously, Nottingham Forest where the duo won two European Cups.
