Every national side plays according to their characteristics and the kind of entertainment they like.

I am not interested in the Italian national team. I prefer to have a new experience, outside of Italy.

I never had any problems with the players. I would say that my English is better than Gary Lineker's Spanish.

In Italy, it is all about tactics and playing for a result, whereas in Spain, the focus is on technique and pace. In England, the game is based on aggression and non-stop action.

I will never close the door to the national team on anyone, but you also have to remember that in modern football, only players who are in peak physical condition can make the most of their technical abilities.

I only ever call up the best players, or at least the players who are the most suited to the way I wish to play.

I always play to win, as I proved at AC Milan, Real Madrid, Roma and Juventus. I want my players to have the same ambition.

When a man crosses his legs and the trouser leg rides up to show the hairy shins, it offends my eyes.

When I am at work, there is no need for me to deliver anything but results.

Hotels make me sad. I need a home.
