"He
is very specific in his details, there is nowhere for you to hide. He
will show you everything in terms of stats and I think he prepares his
players in the best possible way,”Okocha told Sky Sports.
"Some people might criticise him for being a bit direct but you also have to think of the players he has got to work with.

"I never thought I would be able to play for him because he is too direct but he managed to find a way to accommodate me.
"The great thing about it is it his dream job and he has the desire to succeed, so I think he will definitely do well.”
