Real Madrid captain Iker Casillashas labelled manager Jose Mourinho the "best coach in the world" in the wake of a section of fans recently voicing their disapproval of the Portuguese.
Mourinho has faced some criticism this season with his Madrid side already 11 points behind arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga, having already lost three league games.
And the former Chelsea boss was booed by sections of the Bernabeu crowd during Tuesday night's Copa del Rey 3-0 win over second tier club Alcoyano.
Despite the problems, Casillas, 31, believes the fans need to get behind Mourinho as he is the man to turn their fortunes around.
