I've met enough managers to make it possible. I've worked with a lot of managers - different skills, different approaches - and I've played with a lot of very good players who understand the game. I learned so much that this could be an option, a good option.
When you have Mourinho, Ancelotti, all these managers, and players like Frank Lampard, John Terry, Michael Ballack, Petr Čech, all these guys, you learn a lot.
In a dressing room you experience so many things so when I ask if management could an option. Why not? I think I could do well.
