“The first day I arrived back at Everton, I said to Amadou [Onana], ‘If you have only one guy who you know you can trust 100 per cent, it’s Seamus [Coleman]’…he’s that guy. He showed me during my first few years here, I saw him doing some things and later you would realise exactly why. He is a proper captain and a great player. And not only that, above all of that, above being a footballer, he is a proper human being, a great guy,” says Idrissa Gana Gueye. [EFC]

I don’t want to be a coach. I want to be a manager. That’s something I definitely want to do. Here? Aye. In life you have got to have dreams and you have got to say things out loud. If it can happen, why not?” says Coleman. [Daily Mail]
