Black Stars assistant coach George Boateng believes newly appointed Aston Villa gaffer Unai Emery is not a world club manager, however, he labelled him as a good manager.
Emery, 50, who had been in charge of Spanish club Villarreal replaces Steven Gerrard after poor start to the season.
He joined the Spanish side in 2020 and led them to Europa League success in the 2020-21 season, beating Manchester United in the final.
""I think Unai Emery is a very good manager. I'm not quite sure we can class him as a world class manager as yet," former Aston Villa U-23 said in an interview on Sky Sports.
"When we talk about world class managers are coaches who have won the Champions League and perhaps maybe winning World Cups as coaches but I think he is a fantastic manager."
He added, "If you look at the way his team in Villareal can play football is just fantastic to see and I hope he can produce those type of performances with Aston Villa."
"He's not there yet I think as a world class manager yet but sure he's got the credentials to be one."
George Boateng left his role as manager of Aston Villa’s U-23 side ‘to concentrate on his role’ with the Ghana national team ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
