I'm not arrogant enough to think that I will be in a job through anything. Any manager will tell you that you have to win games, and you have to get results. You have to perform.
I will only ever do my best.
What I learned was it does not matter how much support you have in the boardroom, from the directors, the executives: you have to get results, and you have to win.
Simon Mignolet has been first class.
Young players will run through a barbed wire fence for you.
A winning model would mean trying to get the best possible players that you can, at whatever age they are; it doesn't matter.
I think sometimes you can want to win too much, and the focus comes away from what allows you to win.
When you manage Liverpool, you know the Manchester United job is gone.
Coutinho is a joy to watch.
I've always been a great lover of Barcelona and the structure of the club.
The key for scouting is trying to predict when the player is peaking.
When I was at Liverpool, I asked about Van Dijk when he was at Groningen and then at Celtic. But I was told he wouldn't be for us at the time. Van Dijk could have jumped from Celtic to a Liverpool.
Would I work in Scotland again? Of course I would. I loved every single second of being there.
I try to implement my own ways of making teams successful.
One of my strengths is I learn, and I like to learn from all sorts of people in all walks of life.
He's a big player, and the big players score the big goals and make the big contributions in the big games. That's what determines a great player. That's what Steven Gerrard is.
The team is the most important thing.
Racism - whether it's in football or society, there's absolutely no place for it.
Criticism comes with the territory when you don't win games.
I always like the players to be within 10 to 15 metres of each other. When the attacking players try what I am asking them to do, and it breaks down, there are players close enough to then go and win the ball back and counter press the game.
