Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores is a well-connected man.
The new Hornets boss has a long list of friends in high places including some he will come up against in the Premier League this season.
50-year old Spaniard Flores is a former Valencia and Real Madrid midfielder and has previously managed such clubs as Getafe, Benfica and Atletico Madrid which is how his contact book is so full of star names including Chelsea's Jose Mourinho and Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini.
"I have a good relationship with many people," he said.
"There's Rafa Benitez but also Pep Guardiola, Mourinho and Pellegrini. I keep my relationship with Mourinho and Guardiola separate though. They don't mix very well."
He added: "I feel close to these coaches, Roberto Martinez too, but I want to meet the English coaches like Brendan Rodgers and Roy Hodgson. It will be a good moment to shake their hands and introduce myself."
