If the national coach lets decisions be made from outside, he's lost the team.

The player can only compete with the best internationally when they've committed themselves to this goal. They have to be properly supported until that point.

We Germans are so good at penalties because we have had to rebuild our country twice.

I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.

I always stressed that I didn't have coaching experience, but that I did have a deadline: June 9.

As far as knowledge goes I've come a long way.

Personally, I need a high level of physical fitness in order to feel at ease.
