Victor Obinna has kind words to say about Portuguese gaffer Jose Mourinho, who was recently dismissed as coach of Premier League giants Manchester United following their loss to Liverpool.

Mourinho was coaching Inter Milan when Obinna arrived the club from Chievo Verona in 2008 and featured the then 22-year-old Nigerian in nine matches in the Serie A, including three starts, in the winger's first season at the Nerazzurri.

The winger cum striker has praised the man management abilities of Mourinho in an interview with Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Obinna said : ''Mou is the top, the best coach I've ever had, he makes you feel important even if you do not play, it would be a dream to see him again coach Inter Milan to counter Juve's dominance.

''I owe him everything, he wanted me and I made my first start in the big match against Roma''.

Obinna won the Serie A title with Inter Milan in the 2008-2009 season with Jose Mourinho in the dugout.
