Tottenham goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman has sung the praises of his former manager Jose Mourinho.

After his dismissal by Spurs last season, Mourinho has landed on his feet at Roma, where his team currently boasts a 100 per cent record.

On-loan with Degerfors IF, Whiteman told Fotbollskanalen: "He's a legend. He has won many trophies, he is a good coach and has proven it. He is kind and also a good person. He had good training and it was good talk during the half-time break with him, he was very motivating,

"He is a very smart person, you quickly understand that he has been a part of this sport for a long time. It is an honour to have worked with him and it is fun that he is now doing well with Roma."
