Khedira: Mourinho the perfect coach

Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has described Jose Mourinho as the 'perfect coach' and a 'perfect person'.

The Portuguese joined the Los Blancos last year and endured a disappointing campaign last season, falling short in the La Liga and Champions League.

But Madrid are leading the race for the La Liga title this season as they lead Barcelona by three points at the top of the table.

And Khedira has heaped praise on Mourinho.

"Mourinho is the perfect coach, not just professionally, but also as a person," Khedira told Die Welt.

"He helps you, especially when you are not at your best. He never leaves you alone and I cannot think of anyone better than him."

Madrid take on Valencia next on 19 November.
