Ronny Deila admits he ‘lost himself’ at Celtic as he claimed Scottish football’s culture 'revolved around fear and results' at Parkhead.
The Norwegian boss has been widely praised for the job he's done at Standard Liege this season. He was Hoops boss for two years and won a couple of titles and a League Cup. But Deila - who won two Scottish Premiership titles and the Scottish League Cup - has admitted he never felt at home at Parkhead because he was unable to relax.
He said: "In Scotland, the culture revolved around fear and results. I don't believe in that. I believe in respect. You get that through two things - knowing what you're talking about and treating people right. With a reign of fear, you can put everyone on edge, yes. But that will only yield short-term results. If I start calling someone names, there is a chance that they will react angrily, we will clash and we will grow even further apart. If I tell you that I am disappointed in you and explain why I was not satisfied, we can get somewhere.
