Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has heaped praise on Lille coach Christophe Galtier.

Mourinho has been a regular at Lille games since the New Year as a guest of LOSC football chief Luis Campo.

He told L'Equipe: "Galtier is he the best coach of the season in Ligue 1? I do not like to say the best, because maybe the others are better. But I think he's the coach of the league.

"Taking his team to the Champions League, to second place, the quality of football, the quality of development of young players ... I think the owners are already celebrating because they have players to sell and sell well. I think he is the man of the season."
