A coach - any coach, not just a national team coach - should try to be exemplary. And a national team manager even more so.
This is the Italian national team; there's no need to give caps away. If the coach calls up certain players, it's because he's convinced they can give a big hand, and that's why I'm here.
My objective is to coach the national team.
The matches with the national team give me life.
Carlo Ancelotti is a good coach and a good man. I worked with him for just three months at Parma, before I left for Chelsea, although I had worked with him before with the national team. In my first game for the national team I played with him.
I was approached by Sue Campbell to give my thoughts on whether I'd be interested in being the next head coach of the women's national team. Straight away, I was unbelievably excited and honoured to be approached by Sue.
Roy Hodgson is a fantastic coach. I first knew him when I was playing in Switzerland and he was national team coach. It was under him that Switzerland revolutionised their player formation system.
I don't think Curcic is up to the task. I'd like to be more positive, but a coach who has not been in charge of a top team aiming for titles does not have the potential, the authority, or the knowledge to lead a national team to victories.
In the national team, many guys quit, did not want to play, and we had a really young team, and we changed the coach. Many things happened for us.
It had never been a decision to choose between the French national team or the Senegalese national team because I was growing up in France and playing in the French youth national team, so it was something really normal.
Sure it's a dream to coach Napoli as well as the national team.
If you are the coach of a national team, you have to evaluate players based on what they do on the pitch.
If the national coach lets decisions be made from outside, he's lost the team.
I'm more than ready if the national team coach needs me.
I would like to play for the national team but it's the coach's decision and I have to respect it.
As a coach I need to organise preparations for the team and give informed input to captain and the team to strategise better, inclusive of every player.
