'You've got to trust in yourself and believe in yourself. Of course there will be temptation there. There might be offers that come in and you think, "I'm going to go for that". But you need to be in the right place and I believe I'm in the right place. I'm developing as a manager, developing as a coach and I'm learning.
'I understand when Frank Lampard went to Chelsea, it's so difficult to say no. But when you go into one of these big clubs you need to make sure it's the right time and you're able to develop and take that club forward.
