I was really good, I had a coach who said to me, 'If you want to be a top player, you will need to play as a central defender. If you want to be a good player, you will be a midfielder.' I think he was wrong but, maybe as a central defender, I could be much better, I don't know!

Bruno Fernandes

As you climb of the organizational ladder, you have to redefine your role in the value chain from player to captain to coach to manager, and for some, to owner. These are different roles and you won't be able to succeed as a manager when you're acting like a player.

Lewis Schiff

I can't be a hypocrite as a coach because as a player that's what I wanted. I wanted feedback, I wanted communication from the boss. I showed up for work, you can yell at me if you want, but I want input. So that's the kind of coach I want to be.

Adam Oates

I'm ex-player, ex-technical director, ex-coach, ex-manager, ex-honorary president. A nice list that once again shows that everything comes to an end.

Johan Cruijff

The mentor thing is overblown to me. I'm going to coach the player. I'm not going to have another player coach the player. They can be friends but when it comes to what I want him to do on the football field, that's my call, not another player's call.

Mike Holmgren

I want to be a general manager, and I want to be a head coach. Definitely both.

Rajon Rondo

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

Tony La Russa

I want to be the top player in the league, and I want to bring my game to another level. I want to play against the opposition's best players-and I want to beat them.

Jarome Iginla

There is something about Game 7 that there's a memory there for you for sure. You want to be a coach or a manager or a player or a goaltender that gets it done, because to me, that's all part of sports. That's what you dream about when you're a little kid - scoring the winning goal.

Mike Babcock

Most players will tolerate their coach, just like the coach will tolerate that player to do what they got to do, but Steve Kerr is unique. Players want to play for Steve Kerr. Everyone who's played in this league, who's coached in this league, who's been a general manager understands exactly what I'm saying - he's one of them.

B. J. Armstrong

I want to do some coaching, maybe a couple of days a week, and start building up slowly - find out my philosophy, how I like to play and things like that. I want to be a coach now and eventually I want to be a manager.

Sol Campbell

When you're a player, you want the manager to know your quality and to want you.

Samir Nasri

Wenger is a top manager, he has shown that unbelievably. The thing I like is this manager can make an average player one of the best players in the world.
