Jose Mourinho has hailed Tony Pulis's style of management by saying that if he were to own an English football club, he would want the West Bromwich Albion boss in charge.

The 52-year-old believes that the former Stoke City boss is underrated and always delivers what the club asks of him.

Pulis took over the Midlands side in January as they sat one point above the relegation zone but has now led them to safety, guaranteeing them another season in the Premier League.

"It's simple. If I own an English club, which I don't and which I'd never do, I'd sign Tony Pulis. It's as simple as that," Mourinho said in his pre-match press conference.

"It's a guarantee to achieve what the club wants. He never managed a club that wants to be champions. He never managed a club that wants a top four place. He's always managed clubs who want to survive and who want stability, and he's mathematic - what the club wants, he gives.

"His record is absolutely amazing, and he does what some people don't understand – but I do – and what other people sometimes don't rate, but I do. Which is the relation between what the manager wants and what the team is."

The Portuguese manager will travel with his Chelsea side to The Hawthorns to face Pulis and the Baggies on Monday night.
