PSG ace Ibrahimovic: Mourinho best I played for

PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic rates Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho the best coach he's worked with. Ibra worked with the current Chelsea boss for a season at Inter Milan before Mourinho sold him to Barcelona for £57m in 2009.

In an interview with The Guardian, Ibrahimovic said: "Mourinho is very intelligent.

"He doesn't treat everybody the same. He knows how to treat people as individuals and to get 100 per cent out of them."

Asked whether Mourinho was the most intelligent manager he's ever worked under, Ibrahimovic responded: "Yes. In the way he approaches players and - 'manipulates' is the wrong word - gets them very pumped up? No doubt."
