I'm really a normal football manager.
There's got to be a role for an experienced football person helping the manager; not being a threat to the manager, but helping and sorting out a lot of the hassle he has, you know? Letting him concentrate on managing the football side.
Of course, when you play football yourself you can think you want to become a manager but it does not make you a good manager.
A manager sets objectives - A manager organizes - A manager motivates and communicates - A manager, by establishing yardsticks, measures - A manager develops people.
Pep is a great manager who sees football in another way. He lives football and breathes football. The way he thinks about the game is completely different to other managers.
When everything goes well, they say good things about the manager and when something is wrong it is normal as well the manager gets pressure.
So if one day the result becomes 3-3, for me it doesn't change my mind, because it's football, it's normal. What is not normal is that we haven't been scoring enough goals playing such good football as we've been playing in the last few weeks.
Whenever people say things about me, it always comes back to Liverpool - but I cannot just become 'the former manager.' I am a professional football manager.
There are plenty of downsides in life for anyone, including me. Everyone has their own personal worries. Everyone has normal families, with normal arguments. But in football, things are going really well, and that's what I want to maintain. That's one thing I can keep on top of.
You play football to enjoy the game and the manager wants to be happy on the sidelines watching unbelievable football.
I'm the football manager. I make all the football decisions that evolve around the game that's being played on a Saturday.
I'm a football manager, a football coach; I can't be expected to pontificate on everything.
I like to be the normal Julian Nagelsmann. Doesn't matter if I'm the manager of RB Leipzig or the manager of a youth team. I hope that if you ask anybody of my team in my former days or now they say 'yes, he is still the same guy.'
So, "normal" is really what society dictates as normal and if we're born in that world, we would see that as normal. But if you think about it for a second, is it really?
It really doesn’t matter how the manager is. If you make a mistake and the manager is calm, you still feel terrible for making that mistake. It helps to have a manager who can be cool but as an individual you tend to be in control of your own emotions.
I'm sure at some point in my life, I'll want to go back to club football because people will say, 'Oh well, he did OK as an international manager, but he didn't work as a club manager.'
The manager sits down with me; I sit down with the board. We assess the success of the year. The manager assesses whose coming through the academy system. His job is to look at what is happening in European and world football.
