Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Quotes

Wenger is the best coach I've worked with.

Thomas Tuchel is a coach who can work in the long-term.

Pellegrini gave me back the joy of playing football. He is like Arsene Wenger: someone who likes to joke, someone who likes to talk and take an interest in your life.

Under Pep Guardiola, it's hard work. For me, Guardiola is one of the best coaches I've ever met. He's incredibly clever and tactically really good, and he knows how to speak to us, how to motivate us, and that's what it is like.

You cannot just copy and paste Carlo Ancelotti. He's been coaching for 20 years now and I have never heard a player complaining about him.

Guardiola was a very special coach for me, the first when I was at Barcelona. He is a great coach, a lovely person, and I have very good memories of that time, but I would have liked to have had a full year with him.

I respect Bielsa a lot. For me, he is a special coach. I think the best coaches in the world work in different things, and a lot of coaches, we cannot train like Bielsa. It's difficult to train like Bielsa. But every coach can learn from different coaches. But with Bielsa, I think all coaches learn something from him.

Guardiola improved me a lot as a footballer. He taught me a lot of things, and that's why, in every interview I'm asked, I always say the same thing: He is the best manager that I have worked with.

With Zidane he had a lot of relationships with the players, a father-son relationship. Like a friend. Solari does the same, he is being fair to everyone.

Every manager has his own idea of playing and his own idea of the training, and everyone has a different personality.

Arsene Wenger is a good coach. He has authority, and straight away, I can see he helps players with small things to make them better.

Louis Van Gaal is a great coach. He has inspired a lot of players to give their best, shown them how to play.

Van Gaal is the best coach I've had. We've got a very special relationship.

I had a brilliant relationship with Thomas Tuchel. We spoke a lot, not only on the surface, but really deep about football and our work.

I was fortunate to play under Thomas Schaaf at Bremen. And I played for Arsene Wenger. So I always felt, let's say, more responsible than others towards the manager and his succession.

I've always wanted to work with De Zerbi, and I think he is a genius in his vision of football.

Van Gaal does a good job wherever he is.

He moulded me as a player by teaching me the basics, the fundamentals of football, and definitely made me the player I was until I stopped playing. That is what Van Gaal does.

Pep is not the best coach in the world. I prefer Mourinho. He is the No.1, because Mourinho is more transparent and more direct than Guardiola.

I knew Manuel Pellegrini from my time in Spain. I'd only heard good things about him, that he was someone who instilled the confidence in his players to go out and play good, attacking football.

I'm so grateful to Ferguson. I think he's the best there's ever been, especially his squad management skills.

I hadn't trained to be a coach. That takes great training. Being an assistant under a Coach Lombardi or a Tom Landry or whoever, that prepares you to do a better job when you become a coach. I hadn't received that training. It showed.

I think Arsene Wenger was good for me.

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.

I have worked under several coaches and wish to appreciate each one of them. Jurgen Klopp, though, has helped me improve. He knows how to push you into performing; he knows exactly what should happen.
