Luis Figo has recently praised Jose Mourinho, the manager who was dropped after Chelsea were stranded in the bottom half of the Premier League standings.

Portugal legend closes his professional career in 2009 when he defended Inter Milan, where at that time he had felt the touch of the cold hand of The Special One.

And without doubt Figo said that this nickname is very feasible to carried by Mourinho.

"Of course, Mourinho is still and will continue to be a figure that is special. No matter what happens this season. He has been making and will continue to try to record the history of world football," said Figo in the US.

"He had a great knowledge related to the game of football and he has an incredible way to instill the idea to the head of the player," he concluded.

Mourinho and Chelsea had just lost 1-2 to Leicester City last week and now sits at 16 standings
