In an interview with German magazine Kicker, Cesar Luis Menotti has lauded Barcelona star Andres Iniesta and suggested that Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo still has a way to go before being labelled one of the game's greats.

"[Iniesta] is one of the few adventurous people in football and is also very dangerous in front of the opposition goalkeeper," Menotti affirmed.

Menotti, who coached Argentina from 1974-1983, warned that it was difficult to compare modern footballers with those who had preceded them, but believes that Alfredo Di Stefano is still the greatest of all time.

"The king of kings is Alfredo Di Stefano. After him, in chronological order, Pele, [Johan] Cruyff and [Diego] Maradona. There are few players after that. Maybe Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, [and Zinedine] Zidane."

The Argentine, whose last job in management was with Mexican side Tecos, added that Cristiano Ronaldo was currently closer to the group of "princes" alongside the likes of Franz Beckenbauer and Michel Platini.
