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.

In the Netherlands, the press writes what they want.

It's not always the fault of the manager when a player is not performing well, I can tell you.

We need to learn that in the Champions League, the referees are vigilant and quick to whistle.

The media do not analyse the game. They analyse the result.

I think I could have worked as a technical director. But in this role, you can't attend training or say anything for fear it won't suit the coach, directors, or media. I don't think I want a job like that.

It's very important to win your home games.

I have a philosophy. I was convinced of it, and by winning trophies in four countries, I proved the philosophy worked.

It has been an honor to manage such a magnificent club as Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition.

Sometimes players are very fed up with my communication, but that's what I do, and they know how I think. But they know I am very transparent.

When I have signed for clubs, I have always spoken a long time with the CEO or with the owners, not only at United, but also at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and I have the faith that they always support me.

The most important thing about a person is that you know who you are and what you want. You should be capable of introspection and evaluate yourself.

I hope that all the people who work with me remember me as a human being.

When I speak, I am well articulated.

I think you have to refresh the squad every year, and I have done it with all my clubs.

Dele Alli doesn't have to show me or anyone else anything - because he has already proved his quality.

I love Mbappe. He is so quick, carries the ball so fast, and can run the length of the pitch.

I'm proud I was first to be named World Player of the Year, in 1991.

If there's one thing that fans like to see, it's a player who can run at full speed towards the goal.

Guardiola likes footballers who can pass the ball, who have eyes for the best position and the right runs.

I always say that if you stay with a good coach, the relationship between him and his team becomes like a family: he becomes a father with his children.

If you are champions, you have to work harder than before.

Footballers have to help each other out. Everybody must give his best in pursuit of common goals - not individual ones. This has been the German approach through our football history.

I am not a superstar, nor do I want to be remembered as one. I have always been a team player.
