I’ve played with great players and worked with great managers; I’ve learned a lot from all of them.
I kind of watch a guy like Aleister Black go around, and he does whatever he wants. He Black Masses whoever he wants. He beats up security guards; he threatens general managers. Tommaso Ciampa does whatever he wants.

Football is a team sport. I’m proud of what I achieved in my career, but I also know that I wouldn’t have achieved any of it without the support of my team-mates. I played with great players, great managers, and in great teams.

Sir Alex Ferguson must be very high up on the list of greatest managers ever. Then there is Fabio Capello, and people forget how much Giovanni Trapattoni achieved at Inter and especially Juventus.

I have no problem with anyone’s view about what we do, I really don’t. Very rarely does it stick in my craw what managers or media outlets say about us.
I can play in six different positions where managers can trust me. It must give them food for thought knowing I can do a job in different positions.

I’ve always admired great football managers, and Sir Alex Ferguson had so much success.
I think people don’t really understand how much footballers are affected by the people in their lives.

Berbatov is a great talent, there is no question about that, and as coaches and managers we demand more from great talents.

I’ve had five managers, and I’ve played with all of them.

I’m making a case against how money managers are handling customers’ money.

I always think that women are the chaos managers of life.
