Ex-France national team player Gael Clichy intends to become a coach after the end of the player's career. The former Arsenal and Manchester City defender is inspired by the working methods of Arsene Wenger and Josep Guardiola.
"I'm looking forward to the future. If a good project comes up, I'll think about playing for maybe another year. In any case, sooner or later I will have to finish my performances, but I'm not afraid of that. I have learned a lot and I know that I will work as a coach, starting from scratch. I will have to rebuild my career, but I already have my own philosophy and game plan.
The year I met Pep — it was his first year at City — I changed my mind about football. He took my football world and just turned it upside down. Now, when I watch the match, I can't distance myself from his philosophy. It's so obvious that I can't see anything else. This is reported by

As I got older, I realized that at a certain level I would not be able to compete with other players. Therefore, I began to closely observe what Pep was doing, how he communicated with the players, how he behaved with the assistants. He gave me many examples of what it means to be a coach.
As for Wenger... Arsene could turn any player into a champion. He could take a football player for several thousand pounds and make him a player for 20 million pounds. I remember when I played my first match for Arsenal, during the warm-up I decided to ask Arsene's opinion about his debut. But he asked me two questions: "Did you like football?" I said yes. "And you gave your all on the field?" I also answered "yes". He said, "That's fine with me." There are so many nuances in football now that we didn't have in those days, but these things will always remain the main ones. Give your all to the game, respect your team and enjoy football.
I love football very much and I have to find a way to share my knowledge," Telegraph Sport quotes Clichy as saying.
