Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has heaped praise on former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, saying working with him was a “unique experience”.
The pair worked together at Porto and later at Stamford Bridge and Villas-Boas thinks the Real Madrid manager was a big influence in helping him reach the top.
“We’re talking about possibly the best coach of all time,” Villas-Boas told Lancenet.
“It was a unique experience. It’s difficult to find someone with so much professionalism, dedication and knowledge of the game.
“Luckily, he saw in me a good professional in studying matches and opponents.
“It was a privilege to work with him.”
