If I have one skill as a manager, I can make things extremely clear.

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 I look myself as a manager, I have lot more to learn.

To have long term success as a coach or in any position of leadership, you have to be obsessed in some way.

I am not saying I am the best manager in the world. But I'm quite good.

Coaches are an integral part of any manager's team, especially if they are good pinochle players.

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.

It's not easy when you have a new manager because you have to try and adapt yourself to him, the team, training sessions, and the game.

Being a manager is about getting into the minds of the people you represent.

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.
