The hardest thing about an easy match is making a weak opponent play poor. A poor player isn't poor because he tends to kick the ball in his own goal.

I'm ex-player, ex-technical director, ex-coach, ex-manager, ex-honorary president. A nice list that once again shows that everything comes to an end.

Italy cannot beat you but you can lose to Italy.

YOU NEED BOTH QUALITY AND RESULTS. RESULTS WITHOUT QUALITY IS BORING QUALITY WITHOUT RESULTS IS MEANINGLESS.

Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.

Football is simple, you're either on time, or you're too late. If you're too late then you have to leave earlier.
