Chelsea hero Ashley Cole rates Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti as the best he played for.
Under Ancelotti, Cole felt he played his best football of his career, given the same licence to attack he had enjoyed the previous season under Luiz Felipe Scolari.
"I think the managers who suited my style were more attacking, which is how I had played at Arsenal," Cole told chelseafc.com. "When Scolari came in I felt at my best. I felt I blossomed under him and got back to playing with confidence.
"Ancelotti was my number one. We played with tactics, obviously, but he gave you a freedom and I was able to attack. That Double season in 2009/10 was probably my best season.
"It was the most I scored in a season, I felt I was unbeatable in defence and was linking up with others well. I had a great relationship with Florent Malouda on the left wing, JT next to me and Frank on that left side of the midfield three. I was able to make runs in behind and was always in dangerous spots inside the box."
