We're still a great team. In your mind you can understand that but, emotionally, we needed to express the same belief. We came out full of fire and scored two early goals, two really beautiful goals, and that changed everything.

So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.

When you start supporting a football club, you don't support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.

I've never seen myself as a manager. As a manager, you have to put all your time into the job, and that would be difficult for me.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.

My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.

Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off.
