And at that point, I felt that I was...

Being a head coach internationally is quite slow pace.

When you're used to managing a football club in the British game, you feel that you've got time to do it.

And then I think they felt the same way and we had probably the long term of

preparing the Euros and trying to take what we did in the World Cup and expand it through Belgium.

We've been working now with the way that we work in the national team with all the age groups, but being able to do it into all the professional clubs, the 24 professional clubs that we have.

So I think the figure of the technical director being linked with the head coach of the Red Devils made a lot of sense.

But now in January, we'll try to put another technical director in place and almost set the next five, six years.

I'm after a job.

No, and I think it goes back to that, what's the role of the VAR?

The role of VAR is not to re-referee the game.

The role of the VAR is to help the referee not to make major mistakes.

So then if you cannot be certain that David Silva touched the ball, because you can watch that clip

20 times, and you're not certain that David Silva touched the ball.

Maybe it's just because he let the referee know that I touched it.

And if you watch it, maybe the way that the ball is moving, the trajectory, it changes slightly when it goes past David Silva's foot.

Now, VAR cannot be certain of that.

So if you cannot be certain, you cannot change the decision of the referee.

And I think that's where we're going to find the difficulty with BR, because that should be used, BR, throughout, in every ground of the Premier League.

And it happens in many leagues around Europe that the BR hasn't been used in the same manner.
