Jose Mourinho has named a best XI consisting of players he has coached during his illustrious managerial career.
The Tottenham Spurs manager was asked by Marca to try and pick the ultimate dream team consisting of players he has managed. The Portuguese coach named a star-studded team which features no players from his current team.
Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player to have represented United in the line up having worked with Mourinho during his time at Real Madrid.
Mourinho won three trophies during his time in charge of United and worked with the likes of Paul Pogba, David de Gea and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, none of them did enough to make it into his best side.
The Portuguese's time at Chelsea is evident in the side with eight of the players selected from his two different spells in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Petr Cech is given the nod in goal, while John Terry, William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho feature in his four man defence along with Inter Milan legend Javier Zanetti.
Claude Makelele sits at the base of midfield with Frank Lampard and Mesut Ozil playing either side, while Eden Hazard has been selected in an attacking role.
Up front Mourinho has selected Ronaldo and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
Jose Mourinho's best XI
Cech; Zanetti, Terry, Carvalho, Gallas; Makelele, Lampard, Ozil, Hazard; Ronaldo, Drogba.

As a coach Jose sees the players differently and made his assessment but this time I feel the players named worth their places

Mourinho always prefer the deliverables amongst the best. Even if you asked him to mame 10 separate squads, he would lineup the best amongst the best par position and system.

the question was select your best XI so it was not select best XI in this team. this is to show you, this are special players, if a coach knows how and where to use them, you can be suprised he selected Ozil, Ozil is a special player for a tactical coach, despite woes in Arsenal, he's still having the best assist in PL, same to all his best XI, they're all special with mind not just in strength kudos Mou😉💯💯💯

Özil was known as one of the best player in the world before he came to Arsenal. His career got destroyed.
