Mourinho Names His 5 Favourite Players Who He Coached

Legendary coach Jose Mourinho has named five players he enjoyed coaching during his illustrious career.

The Portuguese tactician, nicknamed the 'Special One', has enjoyed success with a number of teams across Europe.

Mourinho made his name at FC Porto before he went to manage the likes of Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United and AS Roma.

The 61-year-old has named a three Chelsea and two former Real Madrid stars as his favourites.

"Very hard to say, very unfair to say. I had so many in every club and not possible to win as much as I did without all these guys," Mourinho said in an interview with TNT Sport.

"So to speak about Terry, Lampard, Drogba at Chelsea; Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso; at Man United, I don't know; all the Inter guys. Honestly, I don't know."

Mourinho also opened up about the best atmosphere in world football, but could not pick one stadium.

"I've been lucky. Very, very lucky. I was not at Man United in the best moment of the club but Old Trafford is Old Trafford, Bernabeu is Bernabeu, San Siro is San Siro, Stamford Bridge, I've been very lucky.

"But I would say for a team not used to winning, Roma fans are so loyal to the team."
