Galatasaray Coach Roberto Mancini has no doubts about the quality of Juventus target Didier Drogba.
Chelsea legend Drogba is in talks with Juve after leaving Gala.
"It would be a great signing if Juve were to get Drogba," Mancini said to Tuttosport. "I have coached Drogba this season and for me it has only been a pleasure to do it.
"He is a great champion. I can tell you I really have been surprised by Drogba. He is an extraordinary person.
"He has always conducted himself well for me, from the first to the last minute. He has been a tower of strength for my team this season.
"He would be a great and important reinforcement for Juve, especially when you consider Juve want to give the Champions League a good go.
"Drogba can offer a lot from this point of view. In Italy he can too, but especially in Europe.
"He is a leader, and for a Coach it is vital to have those types of players."
