Serie A was the best league in the world when Roma offered me the job of manager in 1984.
I have won Serie B, Serie C, Serie D like the Championship, League One, and League Two here in England.
You don't look for jobs. You don't phone up 10 clubs and say, Here I am. You are offered the job. I was in Benfica many years ago. I was leaving the training ground and I had a car after me. It went on for 10 minutes. Anyhow, he stopped and I stopped and he said, I'm from the Italian embassy. Ah yes, and what do you want? I want your phone number because Roma wants you as a manager next season. Three months later I was sitting on the bench in Roma. I don't think the rest of working society works like football.
That was how I felt at non-league. I never looked at it then and said, 'I want to be a Premier League manager one day'. I just wanted to do a good job and see where it could take me.
My job is to hire the best and brightest employees and empower them to do their best work. As a manager, I am not a mind reader nor an expert at every job function. Therefore, it is incumbent on all hires to feel empowered to tell me what resources they need to do their job.
Dad was a retired hedge fund manager who made enough millions to retire and focus on my game. Before that, he was on the 1984 U.S. Olympic swimming team. No medals. He was accustomed to winning at everything, but no medals in 1984.
The Premier League, for me, is the best league in the world. It has the best competitiveness.
NHL is the best league in the world and I feel that I should play in the best league in the world. Money's not an issue and you cannot buy happiness.
For me the Premier League is the best league in the world. And London is a great city. My family love to live here.
The Premier League is the best league in the world and Manchester United is the perfect place for me to continue to develop as a player.
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.
I chose Chelsea because I spoke with the manager here and when I did that, I felt the capacity of the manager and that is why I made my decision. And of course I like Premier League football and that is why I decided to stay in the Premier League.
I think it is also the most demanding league; the pace of the game in the EPL is something else and rightly for me is maybe the best league in the world.
I have goals and ambitions, and I see myself as a lifelong baseball student. I have certain philosophies that I'd like to test at some point at the big league level. The job of manager appeals to me, a coach appeals to me, at a different time frame.
Winning one league title at Roma to me is worth winning 10 at Juventus or Real Madrid.
Winning one league title at Roma, to me, is worth winning 10 at Juventus or Real Madrid.
Serie A is very different from the Bundesliga or the Ukrainian league.
