I'm a better coach now than when I joined Celtic. The longer you stay in any job, the better you become. If you lose your drive, your enthusiasm, your imagination, that experience is no good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm used to being coached. Something I learned long ago is that a coach is trying to make you better and to be the best version of yourself.
People respected my experience, they hire me, they pay me what I am worth to coach their team.
Coaching helps you take stock of where you are now in all aspects of your life, and how that compares to where you would like to be.
It took me 35 years of being involved at a decent level of football to become manager at a great club like Celtic.
I'm not going to coach again. I've done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside.
I like playing. I wouldn't be a good coach. I don't have the patience to be a coach.
I learned a long time ago how to be coachable.
I always felt if you were going to be successful, make sure you get good people. You win with great players. Coaches don't win games. Players win games.
All I can say is that I'm going to try to coach the way I've coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.
I think every time you coach a certain team, when you leave that franchise, I think you continue to grow. You take a look at the things that you did, the things you wish you had done better. You analyze your strengths and your weaknesses, and then when you move to your next job, you continue to do the same thing.
