I have no ambition to be a technical director or a TV pundit.“My wife Truus gave up her job for me 22 years ago, and followed me when I went abroad. “I told her I would quit as a coach when I turned 55, but instead kept going until I was 65.“She is entitled to have a life with me outside of football. I can say she is very happy.“I think I could have worked as a technical director.“But in this role you can’t attend training or say anything for fear it won’t suit the coach, directors or media. I don’t think I want a job like that.”2
