Keane says Jose has the edge over all managers!

Roy Keane believes Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has got the edge over the other managers in the Barclays Premier league including Manchester United chief Alex Ferguson. The former Old Trafford captain admitted to admiring Mourinho and his team in an interview in the Sunday Times magazine.

Mourinho’s got something. A blind man could see that. And he has the edge at the moment. He plays games and I think they can have a big effect on his team and on the opposition. Do you remember when Chelsea played United at Stamford Bridge, end of last season, and there’s two minutes to go in injury time, and he gets up and walks up to where the United lads are, and he’s shaking Alex Ferguson’s hand and the game is still going on? Two years ago no-one would have done that to Alex Ferguson. That’s what good managers thrive on, that kind of slight. People love to criticise Mourinho, but I like watching Chelsea. They’re well organised; they know their jobs.

In these days of Mourinho-bashing, Roy Keane was man enough to openly admit that he admires Jose Mourinho, his style and his management. And well, he did quote one of the best ‘Mourinho moments’ that I have seen!
