Benevento veteran Bacary Sagna has jumped to the defence of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Wenger took Sagna to Arsenal before he left for Manchester City.
Now with Serie A minnows Benevento, the French fullback said: "Wenger, he's a great coach, I love him.
"There's a lot of respect for this manager in France, it was always a pleasure to play for him - and for Arsenal."
Sagna has settled quickly at Benevento and gave this interview in Italian.
"I already spoke Spanish, so it was very easy," he smiled.
