A Quote by Ralph Hasenhuttl
As a player I had a few idols but that's not really interesting any more. I was a striker and focusing on guys like Marco van Basten but as a coach I want to make my own footsteps.

When I was younger my idols were Marco van Basten and Ruud Gullit.
Marco van Basten - I never saw him properly play but I know he was pretty good.
Van Basten went directly to the national team without coaching any other clubs. It's not the norm in Italy.
At some point I decided I didn't want to learn any more guitar technique. I was at that level where the next mountain there was to climb was Van Halen and I didn't really like Van Halen.
I still believe I can be a striker but, if you want to be a striker, you have to think more about yourself and that's why you are a striker.
They say the bad guys are more interesting to play but there is more to it than that - playing the good guys is more challenging because it's harder to make them interesting.
I never had any dates. I never really had any boyfriends. I was the girl who did the guys' homework. I was really crazy about guys but I was always like one of the boys. The guys I always fell in love with were completely inaccessible.
Simeone, De Boer, Van Basten - fantastic names to have worked with.
In football, it's the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life - or at least the way life should be.
I remember the first time I saw him play. It was for a Sporting CP youth team. I told my assistant, 'There goes Van Basten's son.' Ronaldo had great technique. He stood out.
I want to make history as a coach, just like I did as a player.
Every team has a player like Marco Reus who can make the difference.
I wasn't ever really friends with Garbrandt. We weren't really that close. But guys like Justin Buchholz, the head coach, he was always in my corner. Danny Castillo. Guys like that.
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.
I feel like I've been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.
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!
