Quique Sanchez Flores has identified two Manchester City stars as the best players he has had the pleasure of managing.

The new Watford boss told reporters earlier this week that David Silva and Sergio Aguero are the highest quality players he has overseen throughout his coaching career.

"When journalists ask me who the best players I have coached are it is easy," he said.

"For me it is David Silva and Kun Aguero. Now you look at them. They are playing in a great team at Manchester City."

Former Real Madrid midfielder Flores managed Spanish playmaker Silva at Valencia and Argentine striker Aguero at Atletico Madrid with whom he won the 2010 Europa League title.
