I love football so when I finish playing I would like to still be involved in it somehow and a manager would be my first choice.

I just think to be a manager you've got to live and breathe and have this incredible enthusiasm for football, the whole thing. And while I love the game, and it's been a large part of my life, it's not the only thing in my life.

I just didn't want to walk away from football without knowing what it meant to be a manager, or even wondering what it was like to be sacked.

It took me 35 years of being involved at a decent level of football to become manager at a great club like Celtic.

I would love to get back to the big leagues as a coach, possibly a manager. I would love that opportunity.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get into coaching. I'm sure I'll stay in soccer somehow.

My early ambitions were the same as they are now - to play for Manchester United. I was, and still am, football mad.

Since we travel a lot as a team, I spend a lot of time on a plane where I like to play 'Football Manager.' I have been a soccer fan since I was 5 years old, so to be able to manage soccer teams is a lot of fun.

The reason I became a manager was to have full control over training. If you are a coach, you are bound by what the manager wants you to coach. The other reason is that I just like the company of football people.

If you've got aspirations to be a manager or coach, obviously coaching your country would be a great honour.
