Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has again spoken of his admiration for West Brom rival Tony Pulis.

Mourinho says he's followed Pulis' work for years.

"I would make him my manager if I owned an English club," said Mourinho. "I voted for him to be manager of the year the year he won.

"I see a top professional with clear ideas that always reached the objectives the club established.

"If he goes away from the relegation positions, he reaches his objective. He is successful because his teams are well organised, can defend. They are very physical, normally no mistakes in relation to concentration.

"They work very well during the week, I believe, they always have quality attacking players.

"His sides are always very strong at set-pieces - attacking and defending. He has very clear ideas and his teams are always well organised.

"Even when I wasn't in this country I was always aware of his teams and how he plays."
