Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has named Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho as the best managers he has played under during his football career.

The Spaniard maestro made his debut as a 16-year-old under Wenger while he was a part of the Premier League-winning squad under Mourinho at Chelsea last season.

"Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger," he told Football Daily when asked who his favourite manager is.

"Wenger was the most important, because he gave me a real chance to actually show what I can do when I was only 16.

"Mourinho took me after a difficult moment and he made me believe in myself again, a lot. He gave me a real chance and we won the Premier League, which is something I really, really wanted to do.

"For me, they are the two best coaches I have had."

Fabregas has also played under the likes of Pep Guardiola, Tito Villanova and Gerardo Martino at Barcelona as well as Guus Hiddink this season with the Blues.
