Arsene Wenger is best in the Premier League, says Benitez

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez believes the only reason Arsenal are top of the Premier League is because of Arsene Wenger as he is ‘the best manager in England’.

The two managers are currently enjoying football as they are both enjoying league action and they both picked up wins in their first Champions League group stage games a fortnight ago.

Napoli managed to beat Borussia Dortmund, whilst Arsenal beat Marseille and the two teams will now come head-to-head at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

“I am expecting a strong team because I think Arsene Wenger is the best coach in the Premier League,” said Benitez. “They have signed good players, at this point everything going well for them.

“Wenger is a great manager, a great person, someone who knows the league here in England. He has experience in Europe, Arsenal is always top four and he is doing a great job.

“Hopefully he can win (the Champions League), but another year, not this one.”

It wasn’t only Benitez who was praising Wenger, as the Arsenal boss defended the former-Chelsea manager and claimed that the Spaniard was treated unfairly by the London side.

Asked if Benitez was given a rough ride at Chelsea, Wenger replied: “Yes.”

He added: “People were tough with him because they didn’t expect him to go to Chelsea but he did very well. He dealt well with it.

“In the end, with time going on people will realise that he did well.”

“He (Benitez) is a top class manager and he has proven that,” said Wenger. “When you are confronted by his teams, you know that it will always be difficult.”
