Aitor Karanka says working alongside Jose Mourinho in Spain; he understood that straightforwardness is very important when you are coaching a team.
Karanka moved from Spain to England with Mourinho in 2013, but, the two joined different clubs.
While, Karanka landed his first management job at the senior level at Middlesbrough, Mourinho renewed his association with his former employers at Chelsea.
As per Karanka, he saw Mourinho always be honest with the players without worrying if somebody was getting offended by his straightforwardness and he liked that quality.
This year, Karanka would be in direct competition with Mourinho for the first time as his team is in Premiership now.
