Totti: 'Mourinho is the best coach in the world'

Francesco Totti has declared new Roma manager Jose Mourinho as 'the best coach in the world'.

Mourinho, 58, has been appointed as head coach of the Serie A side, after he was sacked by Tottenham last season following just 14 months at the helm, replacing Paulo Fonsesca.

His reputation took a hit after failing to win a trophy at Spurs for the first time in his career, but still boasts a healthy trophy cabinet including a treble-winning season in Italy with Inter Milan in 2010.
