Liverpool defender Carragher: Houllier my manager role-model

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admits he would base his mnagerial style on former Reds boss Gerard Houllier.

Houllier, about to be named Aston Villa manager, was in the dug-out at Carragher's recent testimonial and he admits he would like to emulate his former boss, he says he wouldn't travel the world to fulfill his managerial ambitions.

He said: "If I did become a manager, of all the ones I've had, I'd probably be most similar in style to Gerard Houllier. He used lose his temper a little bit - I think I'd lose mine as well.

"Everybody thinks that I'm 100 per cent going to be a manager, but I'm not certain. You only have to look at Roy Hodgson to see that some of them have to go all over the world here, there and everywhere.

"I have a young family and I'm not sure whether they'd appreciate that. I'm not sure either whether I'd enjoy it because I like being at home in Liverpool close to everyone I know."
