Managing can be more discouraging than playing, especially when you're losing because when you're a player, there are at least individual goals you can shoot for. When you're a manager all the worries of the team become your worries.

I believe one of the best things about managing people is that we can influence lives in a positive way. That's basically what a manager is about. When I can do that, I am very happy.

The toughest thing about managing is knowing your personnel and what it can give you under all conditions.

As a manager, the more consistent you are, the better off you are. It's easy to be up when things go well. When things don't go well, the players will follow your lead. So you have to be consistent and upbeat, which takes some work sometimes.

I'm not going to manage again. I'm going to work for a team someday. But it won't be managing.

Teams buy players and change managers if they feel they need change at the club.

The best, most successful managers in the modern era are those who can keep a player happy even if he is not in the team. Given the size of the squads and the use of rotation nowadays, that's tougher than it's ever been.

Management is the opportunity to help people become better people. Practiced that way, it's a magnificent profession.
