Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has suggested Jose Mourinho is a better manager than Arsene Wenger, insisting the Special One had a bigger influence on him than the Gunners boss.
The
bruising midfielder played under Wenger for almost a decade during his
time in north London and for just 18 months under the Portuguese at
Inter.
However, when asked who would he the manager of his select XI, Vieira said it would be Mourinho that he would choose.
"He's the manager who had more influence on me," Vieira told The Times. "He was the one who impressed me most on his work ethic. He knew everything about the opposition, the strength, weakness.
"His
detail was unbelievable; everything was so clear about what he wanted
from each player. I don't know what happened at Chelsea but he always
got the best out of his players.
"Arsene is more concentrated on his own team. He gives freedom to players to express themselves. It's a different style."
Vieira
also revealed he didn't speak to Wenger for 'quite a long time', while
insisting his relationship with his compatriot is perfectly amiable.
