Desailly: Mourinho would have won title with Man City

Manchester City will finish the 2014-15 season as the runner-up, but it could have been so much better, claims Marcel Desailly.

Former France defender Marcel Desailly believes Manchester City would have the Premier League title had Jose Mourinho been at the helm and not Manuel Pellegrini.

Mourinho and his Chelsea side cantered to England's top-flight crown, sealing their second piece of silverware —  adding to their League Cup success — in 2014-15 with two matches to spare.

Fallen Premier League champion City will finish well behind Chelsea in second after third-place Arsenal was held to a scoreless draw by Sunderland on Wednesday.
