Laurene Laverne

You were put in charge of the training centre and then became head of the youth team.

You were only 30 at the time and coaching young men 18, 19 years old.

The transition from playing to coaching can be very tricky.

How did you find it?

And you had a very interesting approach at that time.

You brought in a psychiatrist to meet players individually every week.

Why?

In 1984, you took up your first managerial post with the League One club, Nancy, and moved on to become the manager of Monaco in 1987, winning the league championship in your first season there.

You were very hands-on.

Your eye for detail was meticulous.

I've seen a diet sheet that was prepared for the players before and after the match.

And I know that you were fastidious about the pitch.

You said the groundsmen must have been very pleased when you left Monaco.

So when it came to expressing yourself, what was your temperament like back then?

You met Annie Brusterhouse while you were there and you'd go on to marry and have a daughter together.

How difficult was it to have a job that was so all-consuming, so pressured and build a relationship alongside that?

Do you have time to make up for it these days?

It's time for some more music.

Disc number five, what's it going to be and why have you chosen this?

France Gal and Evidemment.
