A manager sets objectives - A manager organizes - A manager motivates and communicates - A manager, by establishing yardsticks, measures - A manager develops people.
Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.

You can have Guardiola as a manager, you can have Koeman as a manager, anybody as a manager, but the players inside the white lines win the game.
I ended up meeting my manager because my sister was a receptionist at a management company. My manager is actually my same manager that I have today. That's how it started. I worked my way.
If you can win ballgames, you can win ballgames.
The manager administers; the leader innovates. The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why. The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
I was 16 when I linked up with my manager - first person I ever auditioned for - and I've been in this ever since.
All my hard work is to win ballgames.
A manager's task is to make the strengths of people effective and their weakness irrelevant - and that applies fully as much to the manager's boss as it applies to the manager's subordinates.
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.
What's a priority is going out there and winning ballgames every week.
I take a great deal of pride in pitching deep into ballgames.
The only thing that's in my control is to win ballgames and God is always taking care of me.
I've got to keep my pitch count down. If you want to go deep into ballgames, you have to stay under that 100 mark.
Mourinho is the best manager I've ever worked with.
