Yup that was hard. But I really came to the point where I had achieved everything I could with them. My goal when I set out was to win the Eredivisie and then the Champs league. Obviously I won the title with ease (11 times on the trot!) but it took me 8 years to win the CL. Once I had, I stuck around for a few more years, then I just had to move on because otherwise I would just be going on and on and on doing the same thing.
Moving on was the best thing I ever did, and I had 10 great years at Sevilla, again winning the domestic title (much harder thain Holland, only won it twice in all that time) and winning the Champs League after 8 years. Again, I felt I had achieved all I could and I moved on. I left that Sevilla team in such a good state they went on to dominate La Liga, winning the title twice more in the next few years, though they are starting to tail off now.
So anyway, the key is set goals, and when you acheive those goals, move on. There are alwyas new challenges to take on...
