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 enjoy my work. The reason I worked so hard all my life is because I want to be making big decisions and managing at the very highest level.

It's not always plain sailing... especially when you're flying!

My days tend to be packed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy my work, and it is a privilege to do what I do.

The quality of people you have around you as a manager is so vital. There are various factors that influence that process; fitness, form and the tactical approach to your opponent are all areas I review on a daily basis.

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.

If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you.
