Argentina Legend Diego Maradona has claimed that Manchester United Coach Jose Mourinho is the best football manager in the world.

Mourinho and his team have not been impressive this season and are out of a place for the Champions League next season.

The Red Devils are currently eight on the Premier League table after conceding 21 goals in their first 12 matches.

However, Maradona has insisted Jose Mourinho is the best in football management.

“For me yes, Mou is the best.

“I would give Pep the merit of taking advantage of the launch that Johan Cruyff gave him.

“I have said on more than one occasion that tiki-taka was not invented by Guardiola. It was ‘Flaco’ Cruyff.

“At the moment Pep is able to choose any player in the world that he wants. That way tiki-taka is easier,” Maradona told Marca.
