Former Super Eagles defender and coach Sunday Oliseh has extolled Aston Villa manager Unai Emery as one of the best coaches of this era.

The former Arsenal manager has been outstanding since taking over the reins of the club from Steven Gerard in September.

Villa became the first club to score in each of their first 20 Premier League games under a new head coach following their 1-0 victory over Fulham at Villa Park on Tuesday, April 25.

The club was just above the relegation zone when the Spanish tactician took over in September but now sit 5th in the Premier League after 33 matches.

Former Ajax and Borussia Dortmund defender couldn't hide his admiration for the former Sevilla boss as he took to social media to shower encomiums on Emery while commenting on the club's tweet.

“Extremely talented coach and, in my opinion, one of the best coaches of this era!!” Oliseh tweeted.

Villa will look to maintain their outstanding form when they travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in their next PL fixture on Sunday, April 30.
