The contract I signed was just for a year, with an option for another year. If the club don't want me, or if I don't want to carry on, that's it. |
The fans know their football, you can't kid them. |
The plan was that I was going to retire and take a job with the American Federation, but Nottingham Forest offered me a contract and there was interest from West Ham and another Premiership club. |
The USA have recently done well in the Olympics and the Youth World Cup. So I think there will be some good young players available in the future, and not too expensive which is important to the club. |
There is a lot of things to weigh up when a transfer happens, and money is a big factor. |
This is a fantastic opportunity for me to demonstrate my capabilities as a manager. |
We live in Silicone Valley, California. I always thought it would be nice to live in a place with the sun on my back. I get that from living in South Africa from 3 up until I was 16. I was once thinking about Australia, but when I went to places in the US major soccer league, as they call it out there. We decided it would be nice to live there. |
We train in the mornings, and then I go home and rest or sleep, and usually I go for a meal with Abel of a night, as we're the two with no family here, so we tend to hang around together. |
When I was a young player, I would look at players and think, he does this well, and try and pick up good points from them, or he conducts himself well, I'll pick up on that. |
