Double winner: Suarez has the PFA's award - and the writers' version will follow this week
Jose Mourinho claims Luis Suarez is not worthy of his two Player of the Year awards.
Liverpool striker Suarez will collect the Footballer of the Year award at the Football Writers’ gala dinner this Thursday night, having been crowned PFA Player of the Yeartwo weeks ago.
The Chelsea boss says his Player of the Year would be Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko.
“He’s not just a goalscorer. He assists, he plays, he behaves, he’s fair, he doesn’t dive, doesn’t try to put opponents in the stands with accumulation of cards. I’d choose Dzeko,” he said.
Mourinho also claimed the footballer of the year should come from the champions.

If Brendan Rodgers' Reds win the title on Sunday, Jose would hail Steven Gerrard as his man of the season rather thanUruguayan ace Suarez.
Mourinho added: “My player of the year would be always from the champions so if that is Manchester City, I would choose Dzeko.

“He was the third-choice striker in the beginning of the season, but when the team needed him, in crucial moments of the season, he made the difference. Sixteen goals for the third striker is spectacular.
"If Liverpool win [the title] - and it would not take a miracle - I would go for Steven Gerrard. He has had a very good season in a position where he is important for a team, changing his profile as a player.”
