There&#8217;s a calmness when you watch him. Even on that side of the pitch, I don&#8217;t want to call it elegance. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s the right thing to say, but there&#8217;s an elegance in the way he is, whether it&#8217;s the way he celebrates or the way he gets angry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, all of those things are important to a manager.
