Ronny Deila believes that he will enjoy management more in his native land after dealing with the frantic nature of Scottish football.

The Norwegian has taken charge of Valerenga and he is believes that the chance to take his time as he recuperates after the intensity of Glasgow will be of benefit to him.

Deila left Celtic after two seasons in charge but his failure to reach the group stages of the Champions League was particularly costly for him.

There was a feeling that the job at Celtic was too big for the affable 41-year-old, but he doesn’t see any step back as he prepares for a season of Norwegian football.

“Not at all,” he told Valerenga’s official website. “There are things you do notice; when you’re used to playing for 45,000 fans every two weeks there is a completely different atmosphere at the games.

“But it’s the football side of things I love; working with people, creating something, that’s my drive. And that’s more enjoyable here (at Vålerenga).

“Over there (at Celtic) it’s so result orientated that you just have to get through each game somehow instead of trying to create something

“What means the most to me is when you are at the stadium, the team is playing great, everybody are behind you and they are proud of what they’re seeing; you’re painting a picture for everyone who is at the game (showing what you are creating).

“At Celtic you’re having to paint a new picture every three days, a picture everyone has to like, you have to win and everything around it. So Celtic is an incredibly exciting job, but I’m really looking forward to working at Vålerenga as the potential is so big.”

There is also a substantial difference in expectation at both clubs, something that will allow Deila to find his feet after what became a chastening experience at Celtic.

The Norwegian doesn’t expect to compromise on his own style and philosophy but he will be allowed time and space to try and implement it.

As many managers before him have discovered at Celtic Park, there is no time for future projects given the immediate requirement for results.

“There won’t be much difference in my training methods, except for the obvious gap in quality of play and the level the players are at,” he explained. “But the main difference is what happens off the pitch.

“There is a pressure (at Celtic) you won’t even get close to in Norwegian football and at the same time there are 60 games a season so it hardly never stops; there’s almost no time to train the team as you just play games all the time.

“And you have to win all the games; lose one game there’s a crisis, lose two it’s a scandal, lose three and you’re fired!’

“You have to arrest trends very quickly and that means you have to work in a slightly different way. Here (at Vålerenga) you have to win games as well but you have more time to actually train the team and you’ll have more time to develop the style of play you want to implement.”
