Jon Dahl Tomasson may still be a regular in the Feyenoord side, but he knows that he wants to coach in the future and has clear ideas about the role of a trainer, suggesting that Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola may not be all he is cracked up to be.

Asked for his opinions on coaching, he indicated that he feels that a good coach will have a more profound effect on a weaker side.

“It depends on how much quality you have in your team,” he said to his club's official website when asked how important a trainer is. “Look at Barcelona, so many good players play there. Whether you or me were to take charge of the group, it might not make much difference.”

Not shy of expressing his opinion, he feels that his frank attitude could come in handy should he move into the training game. “It must appear natural,” he said. “Communication and honesty are most important to me for a coach. If you can coach a team to get through the fire, then you have done well.”

Feyenoord are presently well off the pace in fourth in the Eredivisie and are due to face Ajax on Sunday.
