Rice talked about coach Arteta in an interview. He said not to judge him now, but to wait until he wins everything before judging him. He believes Arteta can definitely do it.
Rice: "I think he is still a young coach in the early stages of his coaching career, but when all is said and done, he will be one of the best coaches. This is just the beginning, like I said, so don't judge him now, wait until he wins everything We'll see after that, because he can definitely do it. I think his tactical ability is just incredible.
"Everything he does, the understanding of the opponent, the way he sets up the team, the only thing I have to worry about when I step on the court is to play well.
"I completely understand what to do tactically. It's like he put a remote control in my head. He instilled everything in me and instilled it in all the players. You know what you have to do every time you go on the court, and that's all thanks to him. So I can't speak highly enough of him."
