It’s not always the player that’s talking in the dressing room that becomes a good manager. It’s a feeling that you need to develop, it’s a feeling that needs to grow on you.

It sounds strange, maybe, because I have played with a lot of big players but I never thought: ‘OK, they’re going to go into management.' Maybe there was only one, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, because he was always talking about football but I did not have a feeling with the other players.

Of course, when you play football yourself you can think you want to become a manager but it does not make you a good manager.
