      Hodgson keen to offer Carragher a contract extension
      Aug 07, 2010 05:52:36 pm
      Roy eager for Carra talks

      Roy Hodgson has revealed his intention to offer Jamie Carragher an extension to his Liverpool contract this summer.

      The Reds vice-captain has just one year remaining on his current deal and Hodgson is eager to begin negotiations with a player he believes will remain at the club for life.

      "I'm sure it (a contract extension) will be a priority," said the boss. "Quite frankly so much has happened in the last five weeks, the hours I've spent at the club are enormous, that we haven't actually got round to discussing contracts with players. 

      "I now know that Carragher has got one year left. I can see players like Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard never leaving Liverpool Football Club."

      Deserves one for his service to the club.

      Carra deserves this contract and should remain a Red for life. It's important that players like Carragher and Gerrard never leave the club. It's one of the things that sets Liverpool apart from the rest. YNWA

      Why when his playing days are over?  Wasnt Roy trying to bring Sami back in a player/coaching role?  So why not offer something similar to Carra....

      Sami comming back in a player role would have kept the likes of Kelly and Ayala from breaking into the team and his best days are behind him now. Can't see Carra getting too many games next season, but great to have him as backup.

      Carra deserves a new deal and will probably do his badges over the next few years. When he is finished playing he will be a great asset to our club. Carra has a broad knowledge of the game and maybe he fancies the managers job one day. Can you imagine him giving the hairdryer treatment to some poor foriegn player ;D

      I'd have him on my backroom staff, if I could understand him :P  Seriously though, gotta love the lad, especially the quotes about him going to finish his career somewhere else if he's not 'good enough for the team' (something along of the lines of 'I want to finish playing the best football of my career at Liverpool, but I might go somewhere else for a few years after'.  Puts Liverpool's best interest before his own, I've got no doubts in my mind that Carra will be working behind the scenes one way or another.

      edit: Carra's already done some of the badges, not sure which ones though.
      double edit: old articles but:

      Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher plans for life in the dugout

      Paul Ince and Roy Keane may not have survived in the cut-throat world of managing a Premier League team, but Jamie Carragher insists he will not let their fate put him off moving to the dugout.

      The Liverpool defender's former team-mate Ince was sacked as Blackburn manager in December after just 21 games at Ewood Park, while his old foe Keane resigned after two years at Sunderland with his side deep in the relegation mire.

      The sight of such high-profile casualties would make most players shy away from taking charge of a top flight team. But Carragher, never one to shirk a challenge, remains unbowed.

      He told Liverpool's official magazine: "I think I still want to go into management. I'm sure I'll stay in football in some capacity. That might be as a trainer, a coach or a manager.

      "I don't think I could live without football. It's been part of my life since the age of four or five and I think and talk about it constantly.

      "I'd have to try management one day and see if it's for me. If it wasn't, I'd just move on. Roy Keane did a good job bringing Sunderland up in his first season and then keeping them up after that, but what happened with him and Ince wouldn't make me think twice about becoming a manager."

      The incumbent of the post Carragher would one day inhabit, Rafa Benitez, is facing a task to keep the Dutch international Dirk Kuyt out of the clutches of Juventus.

      Claudio Ranieri's side, currently second in Serie A, have been linked with a host of the Anfield side's players, including Ryan Babel, Xabi Alonso and Daniel Agger, but now appear to have turned their attentions to the former Feyenoord striker.

      Juventus are desperately seeking a replacement for Pavel Nedved, the Czech international who is due to retire at the end of the current campaign. Kuyt, converted to a right winger by Benitez after arriving at Anfield as a forward, has impressed this season on the flank.

      Benitez would be loathe to lose a player who remains an integral part of his plans and who is widely acknowledged among his team-mates as being a key cog in the Spaniard's system, but with transfer funds in the summer likely to be restricted by the club's owners' financial travails, a bid of £10 million would be tempting.

      Liverpool academy boss John Owens has revealed defender Jamie Carragher is already working with the club's juniors teams

      Discussing the prospects of Carragher and Steven Gerrard entering management, Owens told liverpoolfc.tv: "In terms of the success they have gone on to then currently we have two fantastic ones.

      "Steven (Gerrard) would get more of a European and world accolade because of the position he plays and his ability to score magnificent, match-winning goals, whereas Jamie (Carragher) is such a different character.

      "He's actually doing his coaching badges at the moment, so he comes here and works with 15 and 16 year olds with Dave Shannon.

      "He's getting in some practice and he wants to get back into the game once he hangs up his boots. It will be fantastic if and when he does.

      "Maybe he could be involved with Liverpool, he's certainly the right type for it. He has such a fantastic attitude and a love for the club."

      A retirement extension that will see Jamie move into a coaching role within the club can only be good for LFC, I'd like to see this happen.

      I know he has been doing bits & bobs with the youth team in regards to training & I know he's been doing his badges. He has also expressed his desire to get into management, so maybe Roy could start grooming him, bringing back the boot room mentality.
