Former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss Rafa Benitez reveals the best player that he's ever coached - and why it's NOT Cristiano Ronaldo

Rafa Benitez has coached some of the greatest players of all time and he has now revealed which one he rates the most highly.

Benitez is perhaps best known for his time at Liverpool and has also managed the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, Napoli and Inter Milan.

The Spaniard has overseen the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Fernando Torres, Frank Lampard, Toni Kroos Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o and Eden Hazard.

However, he did not name any of those men as his No 1 during an appearance on The Overlap's It Was What It Was podcast.
