This is the first time that his fans will get a glimpse of his coaching side. So a question like how does it feel to be a new player-manager was a definite which was then followed by which manager inspires him the most.
.@TheBlueRentboy I'll try my best as a player first. We have a strong squad so there's less pressure as manager. #AskAnelka

.@manas_gera Ancelotti was very friendly & had a good understanding with the team. As a tactician, Conte. Learned a lot from him. #AskAnelka

The other question that many would want to know the answer was asking about their new signing Sunil Chhetri.
.@IMSHETTYF1 @chetrisunil11 can score & assist as well. That's a big plus for the team. A force like him will be very good for us #AskAnelka

Well it would have been incomplete with a question like how has his experience been in Mumbai and with fans.
.@Hazardinho_17 Very good, that's why I came back. The fans, games, the people and the football on and off the pitch was great. #AskAnelka
