“I sleep two hours most of the time, if not three hours. But when I get the opportunity to sleep, I do. 

“Sometimes you need to sleep properly so that you can think properly.

“It’s our job. Unfortunately, I chose to be a coach. So there is no time to sleep; whether we are winning games or losing, there’s no time to sleep. 

“It’s a tough job for coaches because it’s more about results. It’s more about getting the team together, trying to get players to think alike and get that chemistry right, and it all boils down to one thing – you as the coach have to get it right,” Zwane added.
