I worked at the number one team in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and now also in England.

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

I am not a usual coach: it doesn't matter for me who are scoring the goals.

It's very important to win your home games.

In the Netherlands, the press writes what they want.

You need always guts to put youngsters in the squad and also in the line-up.

When I speak, I am well articulated.

I thought always Manchester United can buy every player because they have a lot of power.

Every player gets his time, no matter who you are.

I believe in Manchester United.

I am not a dictator; I am a communicator.

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

You have to live in the present, I think.

You have to deal with a lot of things when you are a professional football player, and that is not so easy.

The accommodation for the players to dress themselves, to change into their club shirts, are in most stadiums not so good.

I had to follow Bobby Robson at Barcelona. He had won three titles.

I am more open than other coaches with all of my players.

The coach is the focal point of the team, but you need to have an open mind, and so do all the players. Everyone needs to work together to achieve a common goal.

I have good memories of Manchester United.

With Ajax, I played Mexico in Mexico City, and our players could hardly keep up for half the match.
