Congratulations, after the celebrations will you be able to field a team?

Thanks, yeah we’ll be able to field a team. As I’ve got older, I used to be a bit different but I really feel you need to celebrate your achievements properly. That was my message to the boys. It’s really important because it’s important for them, because they’re the ones who have done it and achieved it. It’s important for the people around them because then they can relax as well and then it’s important to make the experience as memorable as possible because when I ask them to climb the mountain again, there is a reason for it.

Fair to say they took my words literally and certainly enjoyed themselves over the last couple of days. Like all parties there is one family member who embarrasses you and we want to keep control of. Fair to say we had a couple of those, but again, it doesn’t make them bad people and they are probably the first ones you reinvite to the next party. The boys are all good. We’ll be good tomorrow.

Any insight into that?

No, I just love seeing and it’s important the boys celebrated. We’ve been through a lot and it is part of how you create this winning mentality and bond because I am sure when they reflect, when they reflect on the game and the feelings afterwards, even the last 24 to 48 hours, the parade yesterday was unbelievable, all those things are important.

Best TV shows have a trailer, what can we expect from season three?

I should have thought about it a bit more because as somebody rightly pointed out, sometimes they kill off the main character. I could be in strife there!

I said even before the game, I really believe we’re just building something and a significant win accelerates that. I really believe that is the case and I am not going to put a limit on what we can achieve. I certainly believe it’s exciting the possibilities of next year knowing I’ve got a group of players now and staff and a club that knows how to win and wants more of it.

Any discussions with Daniel Levy about being main character next season, can you confirm you will?

No, look I haven’t had any discussions. Similar to before the game, I haven't had any discussions with the club. Like I said before the game, maybe they were just waiting for clear air to give me some guidance. But I haven't heard anything from the club.

Still a chance either scenario happens, always feels that would be brave call (to sack you)?

I haven't given it a lot of thought. I refuse to be distracted by anything in terms of the opportunity that was before us, and since the game I just wanted to take the opportunity also to enjoy that as well. I haven’t thought about it. I assume at some point somebody will tell me something. If not, I'm just gonna roll up next year and be a bit like Costanza from Seinfeld. I'll just sit in the desk and get on with my job.

How would you describe emotions of last few days in one-word?

Hard to pin down because you go through a range of emotions, but tremendous pride more than anything else. It’s fair to say we’ve had a really tough time this year and that could have made my position really, really difficult, more difficult than people may imagine because I could have felt very isolated.

You know the fact this group and this staff that I work closely with stayed true, still believed in me, just tremendous pride to see that then come to fruition in something so special. That is why I love sitting back and watching players, staff, our supporters all rejoicing.

You take on a weight of responsibility when you take over as manager of any football club. There is a lot resting on your shoulder and I can tell you any manager that has ever won something, the first feeling you have more than anything else is just relief. Relief that all the burden you have carried has been rewarded.

Have you had a sense from the players going into this final game of the season that they don't want to finish it in the 17th?

Look, it's not through a lack of will or trying. As I said, it hasn't been easy because I'm making seven or eight changes every game. Guys don't have a rhythm, there's no connections and we've suffered, but even withstanding that we should have been better.

So tomorrow we know the fans are going to come to the ground, continue to celebrate and we still want to make it a good day for them. We want to perform well, we want to make sure that we finish the season off strong and we know we need to address our league form. I still believe where we are is not a true reflection of who we are as a team but, within that context, we still need to be better and that's what we'll try and do tomorrow.

Did you get a sense in training today that the players are desperate to be on the pitch tomorrow and in front of the fans one last time this season?

Some of them. I had to push a few of them out there! I think by the end of training they will all be keen to get out there and perform well. There will be a couple of absences, I should have mentioned that. Romero has been struggling with his toe for quite a while so we'll leave him out and probably Sonny because his foot has still not healed. They've both sort of made a massive effort to get to the final. Bissouma got a knock in the game and he's kind of 50/50 at the moment. The rest of them, physically anyway, are ok.

You must feel for Deki missing out on the celebrations yesterday because he has been integral this season?

There's always those kinds of stories whenever it happens. I would have loved Deki to be there because he has been a big part of our season. A big part of what we did and he played such a crucial role at Bodo away to get to the final. I would have loved for him to experience that. But what it does do I know is it will fuel him even more. He'll be even more determined that next time he will be there and that can only be a good thing for us.

What does winning a European title do to that bond between the players as they are now linked together forever?

It does. It is significant. They are forever connected now irrespective of sort of what their futures hold. They're always going to be connected, they will always have the night in Bilbao, they will always have always be the ones that broke the drought and hopefully there isn't another drought like it. They'll always be remembered for that.

I think it does bring them closer, which again as I was saying before, that's how you create a winning culture because I am sure they want to experience it again together as a group. They want to have another moment, they want another night like Bilbao, they want to lift another trophy, they want to have another parade, they probably want to go out again and all those kind of things. I think it does unite them to an even greater extent.

Tomorrow is the last game of Mathys Tel's loan deal, do you want to keep him at the club next season?

I guess they're the kind of discussions that we start to need to have. But again, without myself gatecrashing meetings, I need to be invited to them, but we'll assess all those things. Matty's done really well for us. We put him in a real difficult position in that as a young player who hadn't played a lot, probably wasn't fit enough, we just threw him straight in but he's handled it really well.

I think he's been a real important contributor for us and he'll definitely play tomorrow at some point whether he starts or come off the bench. I'm sure those decisions we'll kind of look into post-season.
