Certainly, if I am where I am Manuel, the things I learned with the players, the dressing room, the way to handle difficult situations, the noise in the club. This is a reference, very close to handling Carlo Ancelotti, so they are very close to it. I was with him as a player for two years and then worked as an assistant for almost two years (West Ham). It was enough time to learn from it as much as possible. “
