Chelsea captain John Terry has described Jose Mourinho as the "very best" manager that he has ever worked with.

The Portuguese boss parted company with the Blues yesterday afternoon, with the defending Premier League champions just one point above the relegation zone after 16 matches.

Nevertheless, having worked with the 52-year-old over two separate spells at Stamford Bridge, Terry had nothing but positive words for the departing Mourinho.

Thank You doesn't seem enough Sad sad day Gonna miss you Boss The Very Best I have EVER worked with, unbelievable memories together🏆 #boss #friend #specialone #bestever @chelseafc
