Former Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini rates Julio Cesar as the most influential player at the new champions.
"I don't know anyone who has done more to earn their place on the pitch," Mancio enthused on Mediaset Premium 24.
"Julio Cesar has always worked with such great enthusiasm and professionalism.
"There are three or four goalkeepers in the world that are at the same level, but Julio Cesar is in better shape - he is in top condition.
"The Brazilian has improved with every year and has the silverware to show for it. Congratulations to him and the whole Inter team.
"As for my personal future, I am hoping to return to the bench soon, but there is no news at the moment."
