The Spaniard however stressed that only Manchester United's players can judge the performance of under-fire manager Mourinho, whose coaching abilities he's never doubted.
The Portuguese has won the Europa League and League Cup in his two years as Manchester United boss, but is yet to deliver the league title.
Guardiola told a news conference:
"Of course we are judged for the titles we get. If you have titles you can work, we have work."
"But I try not to judge [other] managers only on that. The history and what Jose did in all the places he's worked... hats off."
"There's no doubt about his quality. I never [doubted it] in the past and I don't now."
"But it's not only the titles. I've won [titles] because I've won with amazing clubs and amazing players. If that did not happen, I would not have won the titles."
"There are many good managers that don't win titles. They are excellent."
"A lot of managers are so good, it's not necessary to win prizes because big players and good clubs sustain you, support you, are patient."
"Sometimes the managers cannot control it. That doesn't mean they are not good."Guardiola continued:
"Every manager [does] what he believes, what he likes, to try to get results in his own style and the way he trains."
"But I don't want to talk for the other ones, I will talk for myself. We are the judges for the results we get."
"Only the players know exactly how you are as a manager. Because they see you every day and they have more information than the rest of the world - the fans, the media, everybody."
"Only the players know exactly who we really are."SEE VIDEO HERE
