So I don't really believe that how many years you've had in the league determines how well your players play... Coaching is coaching.

Will I become a coach in the future? No way. I'd never be able to put up with someone like me.

I think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.

I think one of the things about being a good coach is to recognise when you have given all that you can. In fact there should be some sort of unspoken law that says that a coach cannot have anyone for three or four years - if you have not passed on most of the stuff you know in that time, then you are not doing a good job.

I think you sign up to win games, and compete, and go out there and lead a team no matter how you can do that.

Becoming a coach has to be in your blood. There are hundreds and thousands of former athletes out there, but there are maybe only 10 people who want to dedicate their lives by taking on a job as a coach. Not only a master, a coach should also be a brother or sister to his apprentices.

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.

You can have a coach for five or six years, and eventually, that coach has so little new to say. So get somebody else to give a different point of view. Somebody will see something I don't see and vice versa. You evolve with your game and your coaches.
