Former Everton midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov insists Unai Emery is a top coach.
Bilyaletdinov worked with the sacked Arsenal boss at Spartak Moscow.
“Emery was a great coach," said Bilyaletdinov to evertonfc.com.
“He really wanted us to play in a Spanish style, it was good football but we needed time to adapt.
"Unfortunately, it did not turn out as we hoped."
