Jose Mourinho mentioned five players when asked to single out the best footballer he has ever worked with in his career.
The Portuguese tactician, who was recently confirmed as the new manager of Turkish side Fenerbahce, was put to the test with quick-fire questions about his career.
TNT Sports filmed the video two weeks ago when the 61-year-old was working as a pundit in the build-up to the Champions League final.
Speaking before flying to Turkey for his unveiling at Fenerbahce, Mourinho was asked 10 questions, including who was the best player he has ever managed.
Based on the extensive list of superstars Mourinho has managed in his career that spans over two decades, it made sense that the former Roma boss found it difficult to name just one.
He however had a few names off the top of his head.
“You know, it is very hard to say,” he said.
"To speak about (John) Terry, (Frank) Lampard, (Didier) Drogba, (Cristiano) Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso, Man United, all the Inter guys, I don't know.”
Mourinho’s other answers
Elsewhere, the ‘Special One’ also tackled the question on the player he wishes he signed by subtly hinting at Lionel Mess as his answer.
“Of course I would say the little guy,” Mourinho added. 'But the little guy was not coachable."
In terms of the best stadium in the world, the former Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea manager snubbed all these clubs’ grounds, instead naming the San Siro.

Finally, Mourinho had a unique answer on the team he feels has the best fans in the world.
“Old Trafford is Old Trafford, Bernabeu is Bernabeu, San Siro is San Siro, Stamford Bridge is Stamford Bridge, he said. 'But I would say for a team not used to winning, Roma fans are so so loyal to the team.”
