In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win. There's something greater than the result, more lasting - a legacy.

Sometimes people say that coach is a winner, but everyone wants to win. You must know how to behave in victory and in defeat, to look after what is our sport, football.
When you train a massive club or little third division outfit, when you go out to play football in any situation, it is always about winning.
Sometimes in football you deserve to win but lose. Other times you deserve to lose or draw but you win. That is the game, and it's why I've always said you should never try to predict anything in football, especially in Europe.
You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman.
In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke; winning it twice proves you are the best.
You know that if you play football, you have to try to do the maximum, so I'm always doing the maximum for myself because when I retire from football, I want to sit down and think I did something good - I won this title, and I won this title. People will talk about what you have won, and that is the most important thing in football.
Unfortunately, sometimes the fans forget who puts the money and passion into the club. It's funny, but when you win, it's the coach and the players who are responsible, but when you lose, it's the owner's fault; but that's football.
Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
I think success is the biggest challenge you have to handle in the National Football League; that's something we talk about a lot.
