But he told  CNN: "In football, it's about what we have to do today and what you can hopefully do tomorrow. In this profession, having this uncertainty is quite helpful. At least it motivates me, keeps me on my toes and keeps me hungry to drive again.

"We have a fantastic relationship with everyone in the football club. I'm really happy where I am and things will work out.

"I'm a winner and it takes a while when I don't reach my dreams, he says and continues:

"We should be very proud of what we have done this season, both in Europe and the Premier League. But that feeling of being disappointed and not having the Premier League in our hands is painful."
