Hull City star Geovanni has branded his former manager at Manchester City, Sven Goran Eriksson, his worst ever coach!

The Brazilian told The Sun: "Eriksson was the worst coach I ever had. He didn't give me a chance to prove my value.

"I played in the first few games for City then I vanished because of him. He didn't give me the freedom I need to play.

"Phil Brown is totally different. He believes in every player and gives all the squad chances.

"I've learned with him and I'm glad to be here with him. I still dream of playing for Brazil. If I make the World Cup I promise I will kiss Phil Brown."
