Ricardo Carvalho has declared Jose Mourinho to be the best coach in the world.

Mourinho moved quickly to sign his fellow countryman for the third time following his arrival at Real Madrid.

Carvalho has played under Mourinho at FC Porto, Chelsea and now Real and the 32-year-old international defender has revealed his admiration for the colourful coach.

"I have known Jose Mourinho for many years now, which has become very helpful to me because I know the way he works perfectly well," he told the club's official website.

"He is the best coach in the world, a coach who knows exactly what has to be done."

Meanwhile, Carvalho has backed his new Madrid team-mates to bounce back from their opening weekend goalless draw with Real Mallorca when they return to La Liga action against Osasuna on Saturday.

"Our defence played with great confidence, but it was a shame we didn't capitalise on any of our chances to score," he said. "That was the only thing we failed to do during the match. Normally, we would have scored one or two goals and we would have won the game.

"We played well in defence and in attack we had many opportunities to win. We are going to give our best performance to win against Osasuna on Saturday in order to earn our first victory of the season."
