Head coach Manchester United in an interview with France Football spoke about the principles of his work and how it changed with time.

"Mourinho-man is trying to be the opposite of Mourinho-coach. He tries to be reserved and calm. To find a way to disconnect. I can go home and not watch a football match, do not think about football. I can do it. At the beginning of his career, he could not. Was included all 24 hours a day. I needed to find my type of maturity. Today I feel more comfortable as a person, as a person ".

"I grew up and became calmer. Victory for me is no longer the moon in the sky, and defeat does not mean hell. And I think that I can convey this calm to people who work with me, my players. I have the same ambitions as before, the same involvement and the same professionalism. But I better control my emotions ".

"It is necessary to adapt to the reality of the club, its requirements and needs. For this you need to be smart enough. Priority is the establishment in the team of love and peace, this is how stability is created. Manchester United no longer possesses such superpersonalities as Giggs, Scholes or Roy Keane ".

"Rooney and Carrick are still here, and they are the last remnants of that generation, then a new group of players appeared, which need to be adapted. So for me it was important to invite Zlatan. In this team, even without being an Englishman and not knowing the culture of the club, he is a person and he has all the data to become more than just a player ".

"In England, clubs are so strong from an economic point of view that the market is open to all. Do you know when Bayern starts to win another title? The previous summer, when he buys the leading football player of Dortmund Borussia - first Lewandowski, then Goetz, now Hummels. I head a club with a great and prestigious history, but this is impossible here. No club in England, whether Manchester United, Liverpool or Manchester City, can not dominate forever. The power is divided. It is increasingly difficult to buy, win, build ".

"From a psychological point of view, the stronger in the empathy group, the stronger the connection between players and the better you are ready.

The mind games that are about delivering something psychological through the media are a way to create a specific state of mind, but it is most effective only when you have a team with enough personalities and is ready to accept this type of discourse ".

"In Inter in this respect, I felt like a fish in the water. I had Materazzi, Cordoba, Ibrahimovic, Milito, Thiago Motta - the guys who were ready to follow me everywhere. It's quite another thing to work in a club where players do not have the same profile. Therefore, before you lead in any direction, the first thing you need to do is understand the people you work with ".
