And now he has praised both the City manager and his former boss at Madrid.
‘Of course they are very different, first they are all top coaches and it’s impossible to compare the two,’ Danilo told The Mirror.
‘For me I am very happy to have had the opportunity to work with them. Pep’s attention to details is second to none, Zidane what he has achieved for himself is unbelievable so for me it’s really hard to say if this is better or not.
