I am very much looking forward to this new role. I am convinced that with strong teamwork and a focus on RB Leipzig's strengths, we can tap into significant potential. I can't wait to get started in January and to get to know the club on a deeper level. Together, we want to continue on what is already a successful path, and achieve our ambitious goals.
Anyone who knows me will tell you I always do the napkin trick at dinner, where you make the napkin elevate Dyche even had a pub named after him in Burnley (Image credit: Getty) My kids say, Oh no when I start, but there's always someone at another table zooming in. The disappearing thumb is a favourite and I love the cigarette rolling across the table trick. Kids love that one!
Carlos Corberan has been linked with Leeds United every time their managerial vacancy has come up since Marcelo Bielsa's abrupt and unpopular dismissal in February 2022 and that's no coincidence. Bielsa's popularity among Leeds fans cannot be overstated. He ended their long, long wait to return to the Premier League, led them to an impressive ninth-place finish in their first season, and did it all with a style of football previously unseen at Elland Road.
I suffer from impostor syndrome quite a lot. I didn't turn pro until I was 23 so I never 100% believed I was good enough to be a professional footballer, but weirdly that motivated me to train harder than anybody else,
It means different things at different stages. The older I get, the more I think about the importance of joy within it, especially when it's your job.

"I haven't been ready because I haven't got that (coaching) team set around me. And the timing hasn't been right," he explained. "My daughter's just had a baby. I've just become a granddad. I wasn't ready. I haven't got my staff ready. "So unfortunately, those opportunities have come at the wrong time, if you like. "But if the right call comes my way, the right club, the right challenge, and I've got my people set, which I will have at some point, I'll take that challenge on because it's in me."
I believe we had the football IQ and intelligence to adapt and make it work together, Gerrard told his former England teammate Rio Ferdinand on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast. But there was a bigger problem with England in my opinion. I think we were all egotistical losers. I watch the telly now and I see [Jamie] Carragher sitting next to Paul Scholes on this fan debate and they look like they've been best mates for 20 years,
F**k knows! he smiles when asked by FourFourTwo how he ended up as Hornets skipper. For the first game of the season, the armband was on my seat, no-one had said, You're going to be captain', it was just there. I thought, Oh, OK'. I bluffed it for two years, remembering what Tommy Mooney, Michael Ricketts and Michael Dobson did for me when I was at Walsall, and John Eustace at Watford. I thought OK, let's try to blag it'.
"He's done a good job in Ireland, and he's just left a job," said Keane. "It's his dynamics; the way he speaks, the way he comes across. "Duffer's been up at Celtic, he's done his coaching with Ireland. He won the league with Shelbourne last year, but then he just left recently."
