I hope to be back in management in the next future

Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby.

I am happy to be a role model for anybody - whether they are black, white, yellow, pink or purple.

Back in my time, and I sound old now, it was black and white boots and that was it. Now you've got snoods, people wearing headphones when they are doing interviews, which I find disrespectful, pink boots, green boots, you name it they've got it, tights - they'll be wearing skirts next.

We do not want to be giving quality sides such as Southampton, Palace, Norwich and the rest eight or nine points start and expect to get back up with them.

I just didn't want to walk away from football without knowing what it meant to be a manager, or even wondering what it was like to be sacked.

Of course, I will keep myself fit, keep my boots clean and you never know.
