Exclusive: Video Interview with Gaizka Mendieta (Part 3)

As with most footballers and what they do after retirement, Gaizka Mendieta picked up coaching lessons and began working on his coaching badges. Approximately a year ago, rumours linked him with a return to Middlesbrough, this time in a coaching capacity. The speculation erupted after fellow Spaniard, Aitor Karanka took charge at the Riverside, though nothing tangible really materialized at the end of the day.

In the final installment of our exclusive three-part interview, Gaizka speaks about the possibility of him venturing into management, and discusses the elements that are necessary to do well in that field. Besides that, the ex-Lazio man also sheds light on his opinion regarding Asian football and the sort of trajectory it’s operating on. Finally, we also ask him the ultimate modern football question: Ronaldo vs Messi. Check out the video to see what he had to say about all these topics!
