Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is disappointed for sacked Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho.
Rodgers insisted Mourinho's quality should not be in doubt despite leaving Spurs after 17 months in charge.
He said: “Jose is a world-class manager. The thing which disturbs me a little is how it gets questioned. What he has done in the game, he should be able to position the expectations. He has earned that respect to be able to do that.
“You are not a world-class manager one day and then you go to a job and it doesn't quite work out and you're not. He is clearly a winner, he will always be a winner.
“I'm disappointed for Jose, I know him personally and know he is a world-class manager, he has shown that over his career.
“He is a manager who has won and unfortunately for him that hasn't happened at Tottenham.
“Their expectation is to win titles and compete at the top end of the league. I have empathy for any manager who loses their job."
