Chris Armas’ stints at Manchester United and Leeds United were tumultuous in different ways, bringing outside scrutiny. But he has no regrets about his time in the Premier League. He spoke to PaulTenorio.
“I think it was important for me to try to establish myself every day and just work hard, and I just tried to give as much as I could each day and I did that. I think over time, you earn respect, or maybe you don’t, but I think I earned respect around there from the Darren Fletchers , the people at the organization and, for me, most importantly, the players. It was a learning experience, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
“I think it’s about the work and you want to be judged for the work,” Armas says. “So you’re running sessions, putting together practice sessions, and there’s always conversations. There’s always going to be 100 little conversations every day and most of them are very deliberate on my end. “People on the outside would say, ‘Chris Armas sucks. He shouldn’t be on the national team, why is he?’ So even if you can make it to the top of a national team … people are still saying ,” he says. “In this line of work, as a player, as a coach, in the spotlight, there’s always going to be people that just either don’t agree with , they don’t like you, they say things. That’s part of it.”“My dad died a year ago, you get a new perspective,” Armas says.
