Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho insists Jurgen Klopp cannot be considered the outstanding coach of the season.
Despite seeing Klopp lead Liverpool to victory in the Champions League final on Saturday, Mourinho says the German cannot be regarded as the best of the year.
He said, "The winner is the winner. I cannot say that Jurgen did something that struck me, because I've known him for a long time. After each failure, he did not give up, he continued to go forward.
"Klopp lost in last year's Champions League final, then the FA Cup, lost to Manchester City in the Premier League championship race, but did not give up. I cannot say that he is the strongest coach of the season, but at least one of the strongest."
