Valdano, former general director of Real Madrid, placed José Mourinho at the top when it comes to football coaches. In his assessment, Mourinho remains the biggest figure on the bench in the king of sports.
The former executive of the Madrid club argued that Mourinho knows exactly what he stands for, thus demonstrating his conviction in the quality and consistency of the Portuguese coach's work.
This statement from Valdano comes as a public recognition of the importance and impact that Mourinho has maintained in world football, even after so many seasons at the highest competitive level.
The praise coming from someone with Valdano's experience and trajectory in Spanish and European football gives particular relevance to this opinion about Mourinho's place in the current sporting landscape.
