I've always been one to arrive early for work; preparation is a big part of how I work, and I like to be in my office going through plans for the upcoming training sessions or meetings I have.

Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn't matter how much money you have come for. That doesn't matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.

Even more important than statistics is then having the staff that can take the data and ensure it's presented in a way that improves individuals and teams.

I know how it goes. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year and I was going to be this and that, tactically this and tactically that, and now, because we have lost two world-class players, I am useless. But I accept that.

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.

The responsibility will always go with the manager - you put out the team.
