Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho says he deserves to win the coach's Ballon d'Or next month. Mourinho won the Treble with Inter Milan last season.
He remarked: "I have the conviction that I deserve it, but having the conviction does not get me the award.
"In Italy there were two awards for best coach. One, with votes from coaches, and the other, by a vote of the players. With the players I won with 88% of the vote. The coaches? Nothing.
"My feeling is I'm not going to win because they rely on the choice of all the coaches in the world."
