My liberal friends love to dismiss Reagan. You know, they'll say something like, 'Oh, didn't he, like, only read one-page memos when he was in the White House?' Well, that's just good managerial practice. I mean, Franklin Roosevelt made people write one-page memos.

Rick Perlstein

As a player, I was very lucky to have so many good managers in my career. I remember the first two at Lecce: Eugenio Fascetti and Carlo Mazzone. They were very important for me and my growth.

Antonio Conte

You need to be very critical of yourself. There are a few very good managers who can make players better individually. Most managers think about the team process - and so you have to improve things on your own.

Arjen Robben

I never thought I was a very good manager.

Barry Diller

That is what a good manager does - you study and think and discuss, and you come up with a model of playing.

Carlo Ancelotti

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

Casey Stengel

I have a lot of time and respect for Roy Hodgson; he's a very good manager.

Chris Coleman

There are a lot of good managers out of work because there are only so many jobs out there, and if you get it wrong two jobs running, it's hard to get a third one. That's generally the rule.

Chris Coleman

Over the years I've learned that, to be a good manager, you need to have passion, and you need to have a strong character. Without those things, the job is very, very difficult.

Claudio Ranieri

Many of the factors that we think will cause motivation, such as fair pay and a good manager, won't make you love your job. Even if you eliminate what makes you dissatisfied, that doesn't make you motivated. It doesn't make your work rewarding. You just are less bothered by things.

Clayton M. Christensen

It's good that we have good managers like Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger in this countr,y but I think we should be trying to send out some of our managers to other countries to help not just the development of themselves but the leagues over here. It can enhance their careers.

David Moyes

He who brings a style to a club that can't carry it out, he is not a good manager, because he is attacking the club that hires him.

Diego Simeone

On the playing side, a lot of guys I played under were pretty good managers.

Don Mattingly

Reading a book about management isn't going to make you a good manager any more than a book about guitar will make you a good guitarist, but it can get you thinking about the most important concepts.

Drew Houston

Bad ballplayers make good managers.

Earl Weaver

To be a good manager, a manager tries to constantly fight to reduce waste.

Eliyahu Goldratt

You don't have to be popular with the players to be a good manager or coach.

Francis Lee

I had many good managers: Wim Jansen, Martin O'Neill, Frank Rijkaard, and Alex Ferguson, to name just a few.

Henrik Larsson

I love the ability to work with very good managers, and to provide the right incentives for them, and truly become a partner with that management, and make that management take a long view.

Henry Kravis

Of course, when you play football yourself you can think you want to become a manager but it does not make you a good manager.

Jaap Stam

It's not always the player that's talking in the dressing room that becomes a good manager. It's a feeling that you need to develop, it's a feeling that needs to grow on you.
