Watford boss confessed this wrong about Unai Emery

Watford boss Javi Garcia has stated that he was wrong earlier on to have thought that Arsenal boss would not be a great manager when they were both players.

The two managers will be meeting later on Monday in an important Premier League clash as they were both teammates at Spanish La Liga outfit Real Sociedad.

According to Javi Gracia, he never expected Unai Emery to be at this stage of his career as a manager because of the signs he showed when he was a player.

He noted that it would be good to play against each other as managers after doing that as players many years ago.

The Watford boss has therefore admitted that the Gunners boss is now one of the best in the world and expects him to do great with the Arsenal team and in England.

However, the Gunners boss is just having a taste of the English League and has been hailed for giving a quality performance to have returned the North London outfit to a competitive team as having the ability to match big sides in the league.

The North London outfit are currently fighting for a top-four finish and they have been tipped to achieve that at the end of the day.
