I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.

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

A lot of people say you always come back to what you are good at. Football has been 25 years of my life, so maybe I'll come back to it in some sort of way.

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.

Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together. Suddenly three trophies are down to one.

When you beat a team so often - especially like this season when Chelsea had already lost three times to us - you know people expect you to do it again. But you also know they're going to be even more motivated to finally win.

Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought.
