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'd won three cups with Lazio - then, against the odds, we won Serie A, the Italian equivalent of the Premier League. Rome went wild. Thousands of people filled the streets, and fans even jumped on my car. I became known as Il Mitico - 'the legend.'

It is more difficult for any coach to work in the Premier League than any other league. You can lose or win against any team.

If my style is typically Swedish, I don't know. But I never shouted in all my life at players and I never did it at my children.

I think, that it's sort of a dream, for many coaches to have a long contract with African countries. The problem in Africa, they do the qualifiers with some coaches, and when the World Cup comes, they change to have bigger names. And then, they recruit a coach for two, three months and when the World Cup finish, they send him back.

If Rooney had been Italian, he would have been loved like Francesco Totti was at Roma.

My private life, I prefer to have that private.

The big question for me is - are the players happy? Because in my mind it is all about building the right relationship with your players and creating the right atmosphere.

My role as Manchester City manager was different to being manager of clubs in other countries. You share responsibility more in other European countries. You have the last word, though, in who to buy and who plays and things like that.

There is so many good people in Africa. And a huge talent among the football players.
