You cannot compare Pep to any Brazilian coach. If you put all Brazilian coaches together, you would get Pep. One has motivational skills, another is tactically strong. But Pep has it all.
When a scout recommends a brilliant right back or a coach recommends one from our academy, we want the manager to weigh up what is right for the team.
I made Edgar Davids vice-captain. Nothing to do with colour, just because he was playing excellently and because he lives like an athlete.
The amount of pressure that I've put on myself as a defensive coordinator for the last 10, 11 years, I really believe there's a lot more decisions that go into that position than the head coach.
It's easier to fine tune in club football, and you have the chance to win the Champions League every year.
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.
When I was coach at Ajax, in the first half of the season, the players needed time to adapt to me, to know who I am as a person and as a coach.
It was lucky I came from City; I'd say their philosophy is quite similar. Barcelona are a lot more advanced because they are the ones who created it, but they have a history of members of staff at Manchester City who worked here.
The worst thing Spurs ever did was get rid of Keith Burkinshaw. They have never replaced him.
The main factor in joining Arsenal was meeting with Arsene Wenger and to hear what his plans were for me.
I want to congratulate again Mike Dean. I think his performance was unbelievable and I think when referees have unbelievable performances, I think it's fair that as managers we give them praise. So fantastic performance.
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.
I think the 20-year-old me from that time, if I could have been managed under Jurgen Klopp, I'd have benefitted.
I've been a director and chairman of three good, modest clubs - Coventry, Charlton and Fulham - and the abuse you get can be cruel and shameful. I've had a wonderful life and wouldn't change a moment of it professionally - except that I should never have become a director.
Tuchel became runner-up, cup winner, and played attractive football. I enjoyed watching his BVB. That's why I appreciate him and consider him a very good coach.
It's not hard at all to make the switch from United to Oranje. For a manager, it's totally different than for a player.
I've got the opportunity to manage a big football club, a seriously big football club, and I wasn't going to turn that down.
Every coach wants to train Manchester United; it's one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Being the manager of Manchester City is fantastic for me. It's good.
I was hired to be the head football coach, not the general manager.
This city has two great teams – Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
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.
I worked under a lot of 'top-class managers at Spurs and had to take over as 'caretaker a couple of times when things were not going well. I know what's required.
I think that everyone expects Xavi to be a coach, and he has the profile to be at Barcelona or wherever he is.
The first part of my life, as a player, has ended but now I'm heading into an equally important part as a manager, hoping to do as well as I did on the field.
