Being a football manager is no fun at all. You have to put up with all the hassle. It is not surprising that so many turn grey or have heart attacks.

I'm looking forward to seeing some sexy football.

The more time you have, the more mistakes you will make.

When I played, I received racial abuse but I was just one of a few black players and we weren't backed up by the authorities.

When I was young I was one of the second generation of black people in Holland. My father was the first. My mother was white, and living with a black man at that time and having a how-you-say half-caste boy is not easy.

I am happy with everything I achieved in my football career. I don't think I could have done any more.

You only stop learning when you quit.
