He said, "It is not easy to find successors who bring good ideas and who at the same time involve club employees.

"Mikel has a different knit than Arsene, is intense and focused. He tries to be very active as a trainer, to respond to the new generation and to clearly show what is required.

"The current generation needs more requirements, while in my time much more was regulated in dialogue with one another."
