Valencia midfielder Dani Parejo has hailed manager Nuno for 'orchestrating' Los Che's incredible start to the 2014-15 season.

The former Spanish champions currently sit second in the table after seven matches, with Saturday's 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid their standout result of the new campaign.

Nuno took charge of Valencia in the summer, replacing Juan Antonio Pizzi in the process, and has been praised for his work thus far.

"He is our leader and he orchestrates everything good that we do. He is the boss of this team and will be with him until the death," Parejo told VCF Play.

Nuno managed Rio Ave between 2012 and 2014.
