But I'm a fighter, I want to get back into it.

"You know as a manager it's part of the job, you have setbacks. A lot of the top managers around world football have had various roles and had setbacks. "It's how you bounce back, it's been a good time for me to reflect and make sure I get it right next time."To which the former England international gave a very serious response."It's a process and I've got to go through the steps of getting back on track, back into management and in the next 10 years I'm in a position where I can go into one of the big jobs.
