I always question myself, but I always say, 'Come on, we can do something good.'

I am not like Mourinho. I don't have to win to be sure of myself.

It's one thing trying it in training and another entirely on the pitch.

Every team believes they are better after the transfer window.

The pressure is on the big teams.

If you play well, win, don't change too much. But when you don't play well, lose, you have to give the opportunity to the other players.

I respect everybody.

I think everyone now rotates. The Tinkerman was one; now there are a lot of tinkermen!

It was fantastic to win the title with Leicester.

The battle is long, but that's football, sport.

I don't like pasta.

Sometimes the manager says one thing and does another thing!

It's not possible to win all matches.

My emotions are strong when I start the season.

I always tell my players to find the fire within themselves.

It's important you give confidence.

I like English spirit.

I always want fighting spirit first.

When I played, I was an English-style centre-half. Always with my heart, always with my fighting spirit.

If you are a gladiator, a fighter in this sport, in life you can be the same.

If you aren't a loser, you fight; you continue to fight, believe.

My idea is that players need to recover first, train later.

I have a lot of admiration for those who build tactical systems, but I always thought the most important thing a good coach must do is build the team around the characteristics of his players.

What football means to an Italian coach is tactics, trying to control the game by following the ideas and systems of the manager.
