Aitor Karanka is confident old friend Jose Mourinho will be back in management before long - because he is the best in the business.
Karanka, who served as his number two at Real Madrid, said: "I can be concerned with a coach who has been sacked one or two months ago and he doesn't have a team now and he isn't going to have a team. But Jose, I don't think he has problems to take a team next season.
"When I speak with him, I don't speak anything about his future because I know he is going to be working because he is the best."
