00:00What's the overwhelming feeling you get from your tenure?
00:05I had an amazing experience to lead your country and to do it for the length of time I did is an amazing privilege.
00:14My overwhelming feeling now is that I'm not missing that either.
00:20We've broke down so many barriers to winning, ultimately we didn't quite get to where we wanted to
00:28but they're in a great position now to take things forward.
00:32How do you assess the current sport in their challenges under Thomas Winkle going into next year's World Cup?
00:37What I learned doing the job is that it's important that people on the outside respect the space inside
00:46and I'm in a position where anything I say is going to cause problems for the people in there
00:51so it's best that I stay out of the way, let them get on with it.
00:55They're a brilliant group of players and staff to work with
00:59and I wouldn't be here without everything they contributed and helped me with
01:04so I hope they can go the next step now.
