His football might be the primary reason Whites worship the Argentine head coach, but the wit, wisdom and philosophy of the following memorable quotes have also played a part.
13. On Spygate
I give this explanation so you understand why I think I am not cheating by doing something that isn't illegal. I know I am not trying to get an advantage. I already have the information. Why do it? Because I think Im stupid."
14. On financial fair play
"Leeds accept the rules and other teams don't and do whatever they want. It doesn't matter, it doesn't worry me. I am not demanding to punish clubs that don't accept the rules, I am demanding you recognise people who do."
15. On keeping distance
"I love my players. If I don't its difficult for me to do my job well. If the players were closer to me, they would respect me less because they would see how I am really. Its better for them to see me from a certain distance."
16. On leadership
"In football leadership is fundamentally a human activity. The important thing is try to make sure the player is happy in himself to show his skill. Football is a creative activity and irregular. As humans we are not regular."
17. On Plan B
"Everybody talks about Plan B. I don't agree because plans in football are not related to the distribution of players. There are two big plans; one team that choose to create or one who tries to destroy the play of the opponent."
