I think my history as a coach shows I like players who are gifted technically and have courage when it comes to being in possession of a football. That is a key quality for me.

I can categorically tell you that Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.

I think I've proven I can build a team that plays a way of football that excites and challenges at the top end of the table.

My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.

I hope when my time as Liverpool manager is over, I'm remembered as someone who improved the team and left the club in a better position than I inherited it.

In football there is very rarely a "typical day" - there are always issues and challenges that arise from nowhere, and as manager you have to be ready to deal with them.

I'm blessed to be supported by some brilliant staff, who are all experts in their field and dedicated to what they do.
