Napoli manager Rafael Benitez hailed Arsene Wenger as the best boss in the Premier League ahead of his side's Champions League clash against Arsenal on Tuesday.
.
After losing their first domestic fixture at home to Aston Villa, Arsenal have since gone on a five-match winning run to storm to the top of the table, while also qualifying once again for the Champions League group stages.
.
Arsenal's success has silenced Wenger's critics, who were crying out for his dismissal following eight years without a trophy.
.
But former Liverpool and Chelsea manager Benitez claimed he has never been in doubt about Wenger's qualities after watching him at close quarters during his time in England.
Rafa Benitez is kind of right but I don't believe he is the best coach if we were to base it on personal achievements. That would be Mourinho!
