Jose Mourinho didn't hesitate when naming the worst Premier League manager of all-time in a brutal press conference.

Mourinho is considered as one of the greatest managers in the history of the Premier League, having won three titles as Chelsea manager in 2005, 2006 and 2015.

He has also had spells at Manchester United and Tottenham, and has recently been linked with potentially becoming the next manager of Everton.

Now at Fenerbahce, Mourinho has won 26 trophies during his managerial career - including two Champions League crowns.

The Portuguese has never been afraid to talk about any footballing subjects, once naming Ronaldo Nazario among all others - including Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he coached at Real Madrid - as the greatest player he had seen live.

But in 2018, he brutally named who he believed to be the worst manager in the history of the Premier League.

Mourinho picked out former Crystal Palace manager Frank de Boer, who took charge at Selhurst Park in the summer of 2017.

He promised a more progressive style of play than that seen under predecessor Sam Allardyce, but lost his first four Premier League matches and was promptly sacked.

Mourinho's comments came after De Boer criticised his handling of Marcus Rashford at Manchester United.

The Dutchman said: "It's a pity the manager is Mourinho, because normally he's an English player you want to give him time, and he can then make mistakes.

"But Mourinho is not like that. He wants to get results. If he [Rashford] has one or two not good games, he puts him out."

In response, Mourinho gave one of the all-time classic press conference answers.

He began: "The worst manager in the history of the Premier League, Frank de Boer.

"What he was saying was it was not good for Marcus Rashford to have a coach like me, because the most important thing for me is to win.

"If he was coached by Frank he would lose, because he lost every game.

"I have to be honest, and give the credit to the people of the academy that was responsible for his formation, to Louis van Gaal who was responsible for his first season.

"But if you go to his [Rashford's] numbers and how many matches he played with me last season, I would say probably he's in the top five players with most matches in the two seasons."
