Former Arsenal and Chelsea defender William Gallas has explained that current Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is a better manager than embattled Arsenal gaffer Arsene Wenger.

During his active playing days, the Frenchman had the chances of playing under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and under Arsene Wenger at the Emirates stadium.

The 39-year-old who ended his football career in Australia with A-League club Perth Glory stated that Mourinho's constant attention to detail in training separates him from his French counterpart.

"The difference is that both managers want to win trophies, but with Jose he will show you everyday at training. If you are not 100 per cent he will stop training and say to you 'what's wrong with you, why are you not training?

"If you don't want to train then just go outside and run, because what I want, what I expect from you is to give me everything in training and then you are ready for the game.

"But with Arsene it is a little bit different. You have that responsibility to manage yourself, he won't be behind you all the time. That makes a difference, so for me it was very good to be with one manager who was always behind you,'' Gallas said

Gallas played consistently under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea between 2004 and 2006, and was part of the Blues side that won consecutive Premier League titles before moving to North London where he played under Wenger for four seasons.
