You don't have to love me. You don't even have to like me, but you will respect me.

I enjoy the work, I enjoy every minute of my professional life.

I studied Italian five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans. [Claudio] Ranieri had been in England for five years and still struggled to say 'good morning' and 'good afternoon.'

Football is a game based on emotion and intelligence. Anyone can be clever, the trick is not to think the other guy is stupid.

Everybody was waiting for Chelsea not to win every game and one day when we lose there will be a holiday in the country. But we are ready for that.

My history as a manager cannot be compared with Frank Rijkaard's history. He has zero trophies and I have a lot of them.

Without emotional control you cannot play, influence; you cannot react. You have to know what you have to do and not react. You have to be cool.
