Quotes from Keane in the People:
'I have had to change now that I am a manager.
'I believe that when players look to the sidelines it is important they see a calm influence and don't see a fellow pulling out his hair over every decision.
'I'm not talking about a major decision like a penalty, but you see certain managers abusing officials over a throw-in on the halfway line. To me, that's not on.
'As a manager, I have had to stand back and think before I speak. I think you have to be cool and composed.
'Every manager is different. You see some managers who are up and down and are very passionate, like Martin O'Neill. Then you see other managers who are very cool and take a step back.
'I came here was a conscious effort for me as a manager not to be appealing every decision and not to be ranting and raving.
'I did that as a player and people get fed up with it. The dressing room is the place for that, not the sidelines.
'If you stay calm most of the time and then eventually lose the rag, hopefully, people take notice.
'I trust the players to do the jobs they are asked to do. I like my players to look at our dugout and see we are keeping our heads, we are cool and we are trusting them.
'I might be laid-back on the sidelines but that doesn't mean I'm laid-back in the dressing room.
'You have to keep the players guessing and keep them on their toes. They don't know whether they are going to get a pat on the back or a rollicking.
'If we get promoted it will be fantastic to challenge the top Premiership managers who have vast, vast experience.
'That's where I want to be. I want to challenge the best and work with the best, like I did as a player.
'I had other clubs get on to me before I took the Sunderland job and I said 'not in a million years'.
'Sunderland gave me the feeling that they could go up and they had the potential. It is part of my challenge.
'I had no interest in going straight into management. My plan was to chill out for a few years and spend time with my family, but they got fed up with me.
'It was a family decision. The wife dropped me off here!'
