Jose Mourinho does not like the reference to Marcelo Bielsa's "disciples" as the Leeds manager continues to receive plaudits.<\/p>\n

Tottenham will host the Yorkshire outfit today with many hailing the way they have taken to the Premier League. <\/p>\n

Bielsa's high intense style has inspired many of the world's top coaches including Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n

They have referenced him as the best coach in the world but Mourinho is not a fan of the concept.<\/p>\n

The Special One himself has seen many of his former coaches go on and forge impressive careers as No 1s.<\/p>\n

But he does not see them as his disciples and instead prefers to judge people on their individual qualities as opposed to their influencers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019m only a disciple of my father and I don\u2019t like that situation in football.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven younger coaches, even people that worked with me before, I don\u2019t like that: \u2018Oh, they are a disciple of Jose\u2019.<\/p>\n

"Everyone is an individual with their own ideas. You can be influenced by one or another but, in the end, what matters is the individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think to speak about Mr Bielsa is for people who know him well. I don\u2019t know him well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he was Athletic Bilbao coach in one of the seasons I was in Real Madrid. Now is the first time we\u2019re in the Premier League at the same time. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cFor sure, he has to be a very good coach but I\u2019m not the person to analyse him because I don\u2019t know him even personally. I just shook hands a couple of times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeds can draw level on points with Tottenham today should they produce an upset win in north London.<\/p>\n

The Yorkshire outfit have played a game more but will be full of confidence after successive festive wins which included the 5-0 hammering at West Brom.<\/p>\n

Mourinho's side meanwhile are winless in four games.<\/p>\n
