Real Madrid's Ramos attempts to diffuse Mourinho row - 'He is the best coach'

Sergio Ramos has indicated that there is no situation between he and Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.

The Spanish defender is believed to have reacted angrily when Mourinho left him on the bench in the La Liga champions' 3-2 win over Manchester City in the Champions League a fortnight ago.

There have been plenty of reports since suggesting that Ramos is looking to leave the Santiago Bernabeu but he has attempted to diffuse whatever row there is by speaking highly of the Portuguese tactician.

"[Mourinho] is good, honest and open," Ramos told reporters.

"I respect his decisions and he is the best coach there is as far as I'm concerned."

Real Madrid next take on Ajax in Amsterdam in the Champions League tomorrow night and it will be interesting to see whether or not Ramos is given game time by his boss.
