QPR boss Redknapp: Mourinho can surpass Ferguson as game's greatest

QPR boss Harry Redknapp believes Jose Mourinho can surpass Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson as the greatest of all time.

QPR meet Mourinho's Chelsea later today.

Redknapp said: "Absolutely I think he can do what Fergie did at Manchester United. If he wanted to stay at Chelsea for the next 15 years he could do it. He's only going to be successful there. He's at the right club with the right chairman.

"He's proved that he's a fantastic manager wherever he has been. You don't go and win Champions Leagues like he has unless you're a top manager, but to be a top manager it helps if you have top players.

"He has top players and he knows how to get the best out of them and put teams together.

"He's going to be in the game for many years to come and he could end up as the greatest manager of all time."
