A Quote by Roberto Baggio

Van Basten went directly to the national team without coaching any other clubs. It's not the norm in Italy.

I try to dress well. Not just now at Chelsea, but all my career, at my clubs and the national team in Italy, I like to wear a nice suit on the touchline.

Antonio Conte

I just want to say that aside from Atlanta United, any national team gives you a little bit more free time. I don't want to get completely into the analysis. There are different responsibilities compared to clubs and national team.

Gerardo Martino

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.

Jose Mourinho

The national team has always lent its image to help Italy's problems over the years... The national team is more about uniting than dividing.

Fabio Cannavaro

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.

Ralph Hasenhuttl

I went into coaching never worrying about what I was coaching for other than trying to make sure that I can prepare my team, select my team, have an amazing staff around me.

Jill Ellis

Simeone, De Boer, Van Basten - fantastic names to have worked with.

Toby Alderweireld

When I was younger my idols were Marco van Basten and Ruud Gullit.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

Marco van Basten - I never saw him properly play but I know he was pretty good.

Virgil van Dijk

I believe that, in principle, it is easier to get into the national team if you perform well at Bayern, compared to what the benefits of playing for other clubs are.

Mats Hummels

I've had the privilege of coaching the best basketball team in the history of the world, and that's the USA national team. I've had a chance to coach them for eight years. If you were to ask me if I could end my career only coaching one team for the rest of my coaching career, I don't think it could get better than that, especially with the players that I've had during those eight years. When you've coached at that level, you know, you've coached those players, it's pretty hard to say, I would rather coach anybody else.

Geno Auriemma

The Hillary team is driving around in a van. Sometimes people get those gag bumper stickers put on their van. Hillary has one on her van, and it says, 'If this van's rockin', I'm deleting emails.'

David Letterman

They have different styles. Scolari is used to coaching national teams and Mourinho clubs. Both are very successful. They are professionals as well as winners.
