The Argentinean legend has claimed that the Real Madrid head coach is a phenomenal figure and is without a doubt the best manager in the world.
Maradona believes Mourinho is an exceptional tactician and emphasized that the Portuguese tactician has the ability to lead a team to success.
After achieving success in every club he has managed, Jose Mourinho is widely believed to be among the greatest managers of all time.
The 49-year-old first rose to prominence when he led http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 to a UEFA Champions League triumph in 2004. Although the Portuguese side were least favourite to become European Champions, Mourinho helped them accomplish this extraordinary feat.
The Portuguese mentor then headed to the Barclay’s Premier League to coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, where he was able to lead ‘The Blues’ to an English title after more than fifty years.
After managing Chelsea for three seasons and winning two English titles, Mourinho headed to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
The ‘Special One’ was able to guide the Nerazzurri to a UEFA Champions League victory in his third year at the San Siro.
Having won two European titles with two different clubs, Mourinho became one of the only three managers who have recorded this feat.
Mourinho has managed to create another legacy with Real Madrid as they appear to be on their way to a La Liga triumph after 3 years.
While talking about the Portuguese mentor, Maradona told Sport360:
"I adore Mourinho.For me he is the best. Mourinho can turn a coin into a rose and that’s the reason for the big difference on my affection for him. I’m not in love with him or anything, but he is an exceptional guy."
Maradona then moved on to discuss Barcelona and their manager Pep Guardiola.
"Pep is an excellent man. I know Guardiola very well, but maybe he does not get as much merit because he has impressive players.”
The footballing legend also stated that La Blaugrana were an excellent club, despite having a bad goalkeeper.
While talking about Victor Valdes, the Argentine quipped:
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are such a great team, even a bad goalkeeper seems good. It’s true. Valdes is bad! But with all the players he has in front of him even he looks good."
Real Madrid are currently favourites to complete a European double, after having a 10-point advantage over Barcelona, and drawing the away fixture against CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
