Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says good players make their managers.
Mourinho was reluctant to discuss the managers he found it toughest to tackle, preferring to concentrate on the players he had encountered.
"I think it depends more on the players and the teams than the 'tricky' managers," he told Chelsea magazine. "The tricky manager is only tricky because he has the players at his disposal to be tricky.
"I keep thinking that we managers don't make miracles, we just work with the qualities our players have. So, I prefer to talk about difficult teams than difficult managers."
