Quote examples
Harry Redknapp
English Coach
I see it every week - parents shouting and screaming at kids. My dad was the same. He was always there, but he never interfered. Ron Greenwood, who was the manager of West Ham when I was a kid, wouldn't allow any parent to shout from the touchline. He thought players should be allowed to think for themselves.
Quote examples
Carlo Ancelotti
Italian Athlete
You tell them that all your experience tells you this is the best way to beat this particular opposition. You persuade them and you drill them, and you tell them so many times they can hear you when they go to sleep. Then, on the day of the game, you stand on the touchline and hope to God that it works.
Quote examples
Paul Scholes
English Athlete
When I watch Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund side, I see a manager who is determined to play in his opponent's half, who is committed to attacking football, and, from the way he conducts himself on the touchline, is clearly an interesting, charismatic personality.
Quote examples
Pep Guardiola
Spanish Coach
When you're out on the touchline, like a winger, it is easier to play. You see everything: the mess, the crowd, the activity is all inside. When you play inside, you don't see anything in there because so much is happening in such a small space and all around you.
Quote examples
Joshua Kimmich
German Footballer
It's really different without the fans, because there is less atmosphere, no screaming after every corner or chance. But the positive is you can communicate with each other. You can speak with each other. You can hear what the coach is screaming on the touchline.
Quote examples
Edwin van der Sar
Dutch Athlete
I remember that, often, Mike Phelan would just nip down to the touchline for a message to one or two players. It was usually just a tactical thing. But when Sir Alex comes to the touchline, all the players know that it's serious stuff.
Quote examples
Antonio Conte
Italian Coach
I try to dress well. Not just now at Chelsea, but all my career, at my clubs and the national team in Italy, I like to wear a nice suit on the touchline.

Italian Coach
All my coaching life, I am the same, always on the touchline, the same way. I am in the game all the time. I am focused.

Chris Smalling
English Athlete
As players we don't want to be sitting on the touchline or watching the games in the directors' box. That is no fun.

Spanish Athlete
Many managers prefer to play with wingers that cut inside a lot and don't hug the touchline.
