I would like to thank all Neapolitan fans for the affection and warmth that I have felt.

Wenger is a great manager, a great person, someone who knows the league here in England.

He's a great champion. I can tell you that I was amazed by Drogba - he's a great person.

I've had influences from many people including the coaches and players I've worked with.

We must have had 99 per cent of the match. It was the other three per cent that cost us.

I'm fighting hard - it's difficult under the weight of criticism but you have to take it

Play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they will remember the name on the back

In the Champions League I'm no expert. Pep is the expert, he's won it twice as a manager.

I was surprised we were playing in Manchester and have a referee from Greater Manchester.

It turns out I share a birthday with Jose Mourinho. He is exactly 10 years older than me.

Certainly it is a different world for players nowadays. But it depends on the individual.

You shouldn't be paying massive wages when you've got a stadium that holds 18,000 people.

I feel like a steaming cow-pat - or a car that's clocked up 400,000 miles in one journey.

You need a really good mix between young and old, between experienced and hungry players.

I didn't take many penalties but I never missed one. You just need to stick to your plan.

Basketball. I love it. I can't believe these giants move like kids. They are so flexible.

Every coach wants to train Manchester United; it's one of the biggest clubs in the world.

I thought always Manchester United can buy every player because they have a lot of power.

Robbie Keane's not the second choice, he's my first choice. But Jermain Defoe is as well.

United have more experience but we have a much better team and play much better football.

When you're playing for Real Madrid, even when you're playing well, you're under scrutiny.

When you work hard, when you believe in something, in the end, you will achieve something.

Manchester United isn't about Wayne Rooney. Manchester United is about the team, the club.

Messi alone is more dangerous than Real Madrid's attacking trio Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale.

Whether you win or lose against English teams, you always feel it's been a proper contest.

Pavarotti is not judged on how he sings in the shower. People wait until he gets on stage.

Money isn't the most important thing. It is important, of course. I am not Mahatma Gandhi.

I think Ashley Young is world class, Id put him in a bracket with Lionel Messi and Ronaldo

Playing games is the best time of your life, and the more games you get, the better it is.

I've seen managers come in and lose the first game, you're on the back foot straight away.

I am not naive enough to settle for anything less than a reasonable valuation of my worth.

My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.

That ability to press immediately, within five or six seconds to get the ball, is important

I don't drive a truck, I drive a team of footballers who work for a major club like Atleti.

In fact, a coach is primarily a trainer, not only in tactics but also in emotional matters.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who often plays on the left side and moves between the lines.

It cannot be a good thing when a club is run solely from a commercially-driven perspective.

We cannot try to play in a manner that does not correspond to our players' characteristics.

From a personal perspective, I try never to go back to a club where I have already coached.

My biggest achievement at Cardiff is bringing the whole club together in my two years here.

It's difficult to motivate yourself to do the workouts when you get older but I train hard.

We Dutch, we like to have an opinion, a strong opinion. We think we know everything better.

I hope we get a decision shortly - I will be dead soon. (on wanting to be Man City manager)

I've always been bloody single minded, which is probably why I've been in the game so long.

If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you.

I had a wonderful time at Liverpool. My three and a half years there was a great experience.

You can't manufacture team spirit; it doesn't come from having a good night out and a laugh.

When I was a kid, all our seaside holidays were spent on Canvey Island or in Clacton-on-Sea.

To try and nick a few quid off the income tax... Why? I am not into that. I don't need that.

I appreciate Thomas Tuchel. He made his way through the ranks at Mainz from the youth teams.
