He explained to GQ: "When I’ took charge of the Espoirs, it was not as a coach. I was convinced that I would be able to lead a group but I hadn't yet.
"Now, I’ve ticked this box and I am more relaxed. It’s probably a little selfish, but I needed to prove it to myself.
"But hey, calm down. I’ve not won the Champions League either."
