Mourinho: "Cristiano is like Zidane, a one-off"

José Mourinho had these words of praise for Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he compared with Zidane to highlight him as a one-off.

"I don't need to say what everybody already knows - that Cristiano is an amazing player and a goalscoring machine is something we all know. He's like Zidane; there'll never be another Cristiano Ronaldo", said the Chelsea boss in an interview with French TV channel, 'TF1'.

The Portuguese manager said that he turned down the chance to coach PSG twice. According to Mou, he was Leonardo's - PSG's former Brazilian director of football - first-choice manager when the club was bought by its Qatari owners. Mourinho preferred to join Real Madrid and PSG brought in Carlo Ancelotti.

When the Italian signed for Real Madrid, PSG's Qatari owners, with Leonardo no longer their director of football, offered the job to Mourinho for a second time, but this time he joined Chelsea.

"Winning the league with PSG isn't difficult. Winning the Premier League is fantastic for anyone because it's really hard", he said.

Despite his words, Mourinho did not rule out one day managing the French side. "I'm at the club I want to be at, but Abramovich will one day tell me that it's over", he concluded.

"Paris have lots of quality players, Laurent Blanc is a great coach, the club's president knows the game and Leonardo laid very good foundations", he said of PSG.
