Below, I leave you with some of the main thoughts from the chat.<\/p>\n<h2>Highlights of the interview with Sky Sports<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to return, even when your <strong>achievements<\/strong> and numbers are good.<\/p>\n<p>Have I been a little bit more selective when looking for a club? Yes, I would say I have been, the main thing for me now is the <strong>people I am going to work with<\/strong>. I want to know what they really want, how they feel and whether they know me, who I am. I don&#8217;t care about the name or the history of the club.<\/p>\n<p>To anybody who wants to manage in <strong>England<\/strong>, I would tell them that it&#8217;s a totally different place. If you don&#8217;t realise this then it will be a shock, and then before you know it, you&#8217;re out. If your first experience is short and bad in England, then it&#8217;s really difficult to get back.<\/p>\n<p>If I come close to seeing one of my teams playing the way that we played at <strong>Brighton<\/strong>, I would be very happy. The players came to an understanding of the game in every aspect.<\/p>\n<p>They asked me two things at <strong>Sunderland<\/strong>: one, stay up and two, beat Newcastle. And we did both. We connected with the players, somehow, we stayed up, it was a miracle, and in the year and a half that I was there we beat Newcastle 3 times. We also went to Wembley and played in the FA Cup final against Manchester City. So, when people ask me about Sunderland, I say yes, it was successful.<\/p>\n<p>I would love my next job to be in England. I enjoy watching different English teams, I am still learning from them. If you know how to convince the <strong>players<\/strong> then that&#8217;s the main thing, and you&#8217;ll become a better manager.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/watch\/video\/sports\/football\/12046411\/making-a-manager-gus-poyet\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gustavopoyet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Poyet-Sky-Sports.jpg\" alt=\"Poyet Sky Sports\" width=\"100%\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gustavopoyet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Poyet-Sky-Sports.jpg 989w, https:\/\/gustavopoyet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Poyet-Sky-Sports-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gustavopoyet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Poyet-Sky-Sports-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 989px) 100vw, 989px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sky Sports has recently launched a series of interviews with managers who are currently looking for new challenges.
