A Quote by Mickey Arthur

It's no easy task to coach the national team. I never realised to what extent one becomes the property of the people.

A coach - any coach, not just a national team coach - should try to be exemplary. And a national team manager even more so.

Julen Lopetegui

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.

Dusan Tadic

In his sophomore year Wilbanks tried out for the high school basketball team and made it. On the first day of practice his coach had him play one-on-one while the team observed. When he missed an easy shot, he became angry and stomped and whined. The coach walked over to him and said, "You pull a stunt like that again and you'll never play for my team." For the next three years he never lost control again. Years later, as he reflected back on this incident, he realized that the coach had taught him a life-changing principle that day: anger can be controlled.

It's not easy to carry forward the national team because you have a whole country behind you. But I would be willing to take charge of the Argentina national team.

Mario Kempes

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.

Patrick Vieira

Communism is not only a national belief but it implies the giving up of real property especially of landed property, and the Jews, being international, have never acquired the taste for real property. They prefer money, which is an instrument of power.

Leon V. DePoncins

From my point of view, it is not the coach who becomes world champion, it is a team. Not just the players who played, but the whole squad, and also the team behind the team. Because if you want to achieve success, the whole team has to work perfectly, like a machine, and all the pieces of the puzzle need to fit together into one picture.

Joachim Low

When a coach trusts you enough to take you from the youth team and put you into the first team, one of the best teams in the world, it's not easy.

Pedro

It's not easy, especially for a German national team player who did great things in the past and maybe is struggling. That's why I think most of the German national team play abroad because if you don't play for Bayern Munich and you don't always win, it's difficult.

Andre Schurrle

My objective is to coach the national team.

Roberto Carlos

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.

Gianfranco Zola

In the nature of things, those who have no property and see their neighbors possess much more than they think them to need, cannot be favorable to laws made for the protection of property. When this class becomes numerous, it becomes clamorous. It looks on property as its prey and plunder, and is naturally ready, at times, for violence and revolution.

Daniel Webster

Some people say I don't love the French national team. If that were the case, I would have said so directly to the coach, because I'm a big boy.

Karim Benzema

I'd give my life to be the national team coach.

Diego Maradona

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.

Joachim Low

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.
