Cesc Fabregas has called Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho the best manager that he has had after lifting the Premier League last weekend.

The Blues wrapped up the title with a 1-0 win at home to Crystal Palace, and Fabregas has admitted that Mourinho's mentality helped them get over the line.

He told reporters: "[Mourinho] just loves winning. I'm not saying other managers I have played under don't, but he has some edge that goes above anyone else I have ever been with.

"The mentality he shows in every single training session, or game, I now understand why he has won what he has won in his career. He's the best manager and he has to get results and he always manages to do that."

Fabregas has also played under the likes of Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola.
