Managing is not running, hitting, or stealing. Managing is getting your players to put out one hundred percent year after year.

That is the difference from being a manager and being a player: As a player, if you sign a contract for four years, if you want to be there for four years, you are. But as a manager, it always depends on the sack. You are always under pressure.
