I dictate entirely how the team is prepared, and I am a hands-on coach; I love to be out there with the players taking the sessions.

Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn’t matter how much money you have come for. That doesn’t matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.

Football Team Thinking
I don’t see coach job stressful, I really don’t. Of course, there is pressure and expectation, but I wouldn’t necessarily equate that with stress.

I have a senior staff meeting every day, with key personnel who interface with the players – coaches, the medical staff, our analyst department. This is a useful exercise as it means we are all across what is happening and they are aware of my expectations.
BRENDAN RODGERS

Exercise Mean Senior Useful
The quality of people you have around you as a manager is so vital. There are various factors that influence that process; fitness, form and the tactical approach to your opponent are all areas I review on a daily basis.
