Douglas Costa Quotes

All of you know how Pep Guardiola is as a manager... he is the best coach in history.

When Pep was at Barcelona, I was so young, 16 or 17 years old. I went to training a lot, and Pep Guardiola told me a lot of things, but I didn't stay in the first team. He is an amazing coach, and if he comes to the Premier League, I think he will win a lot of titles.

For me, Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world. I don't think he needs to show anyone that he is one of the best.

Ancelotti is one of the best coaches and has proved this by winning trophies.

I have been compared with Antonio Conte and it is an honour to be compared with him. I would love to enjoy the same success he has had as a coach.

What Guardiola has done as coach of Barcelona is really spectacular.

Jurgen Klopp is certainly a great coach. I think he has demonstrated at Dortmund that he can suit any team in the world.

Klopp is a great expert in football and I always said that I'd have liked to work with him when I was in my best form. He is a complete coach, he has everything.

It is always nice to have a message from Jose Mourinho.

It is very difficult to play beside Messi and whoever understands it any other way is a fool.

I'm not suited to Bolton or Blackburn, I would be more suited to Inter or Real Madrid. It wouldn't be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time. Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it wouldn't be a problem.

With a coach like Mourinho, it's probably easier for a club to get top stars.

Guardiola is the best because he has won so many titles, because of the way he did it, and because he's adapted to another country with a very difficult language, and he's implanted his ideas.

It is great to play with a player like Eden Hazard. He is one of the best in the world, and I am very lucky to play with him.

Ancelotti is a coach with a lot of experience. He won the Champions League while at Milan, playing some great football in the process.

I think that Thomas Tuchel has the quality to train a Bayern.

For me personally, Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world.

I've known John Toshack a long, long time because I grew up with his son Cameron. If he was English, there is no doubt that he would be mentioned in the same breath as someone like Terry Venables.

It's really amazing what Pep Guardiola has done at Man City.

I wish Pep Guardiola the best. I rate him.

Arsene Wenger is an ambitious manager, and he knows deep in his heart that he needs five world-class players to compete among the best in Europe.

Yes, I met with Arsene Wenger, who is a great coach. He has a great reputation here in France, he's well-respected and knows how to develop young players.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.

It's good to see Graham Alexander back in the game. He was such a tremendous professional as a player so I know he'll give management his best shot.

Jose Mourinho was a very good coach.
