Mourinho praises Wenger, calls him one of the best managers in football history
Erstwhile Manchester United Manager, Jose Mourinho, has described former Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger, as one of the best football managers in the history of football.
Mourinho, an arch-rival of Wenger, who once labelled him a specialist in failure during their time as club managers in the English Premier League, was full of praises for the French man as he received a lifetime achievement prize at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Monaco, on Monday.
“There were some episodes along the road.
“I can only speak by myself. I really enjoyed the competition. But the real respect was always there.
“He made lots of history in that football club. The nickname is there – the ‘Invincibles.’ Amazing. A coaching philosophy, the almost perfect team. He is one of the best football managers in the history of football,” Mourinho said.
Wenger left Arsenal at the end of last season after managing the English club for 22 years and won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups. He also led Arsenal to a historic unbeaten Premier League season as they won the title in 2004.
