His future at Chelsea may be up in the air but Eden Hazard won't be caught saying a bad word about the management team at Stamford Bridge.
The Belgian has been widely tipped for a summer move to Real Madrid after another stunning season in west London.
Another who has been tipped with a summer exit is manager Maurizio Sarri who has divided opinion since taking over the Blues at the start of the season, but while the jury is still out on the Italian, Hazard insists that he's the perfect manager to lead the London side.
Speaking to Football Focus, Hazard said: "I think he is a fantastic manager .
"Statistically it's my best season, and I like to say that because the way he's [Sarri] thinking is the same way I think football.
"Sometimes we have lost but, at the end, the way he wants to play is the way I want Chelsea to play.
"It's easy to understand each other."
As Hazard said, the Belgian has enjoyed a wonderful season for Chelsea, with Sarri allowing the 28-year-old to play his natural game at Stamford Bridge.

It's quite the contrast to the previous regime under Antonio Conte, but Hazard says Chelsea are starting to reap the rewards for the hard work that they've put into the Italian's famous 'Sarri-ball' system.
He said: "After Conte it was not easy.
"He came here with his own ideas to play football and I think we have done quite well. It's not simple to play the football he wants to play but I think now we have started to understand.
