Judging by this interview, if it does ever happen it will be a long ways off, for the time being sounds to me like he has no intentions.
âIf youâd asked me at the start of my career I would have said I was going to be a manager,â he says. âI may still be in future, but there seemed to be an expectation it was a natural progression for me.
âIâd read all the interviews with other players mentioning how much I love playing, watching, reading and talking about it and it seemed to make people just presume it would happen.
âItâs not an easy thing to get into even if you want it. I always thought just because I
love football, it doesnât necessarily mean Iâm desperate to manage.
âThe days of a top player walking into a major job are long gone. Thatâs quite right, too. No one without experience has the right to go straight in. Players should do their apprenticeship. Sir Alex Ferguson made that point.
âYou can mention Pep Guardiola but heâs the exception and even he needed a break eventually.
âIn the modern era, with the rewards the top players have during their career and the risks involved moving into management, more will look at it and say they donât need it.
âYou have to remember how many hours these managers put in to get where they are. I have so much respect for all the top managers in the world for that.
âWhen youâre a player at the top of the game itâs a lot harder to find the motivation to follow that route if you have other opportunities there for you.
âIâm sure if I really want it I could go down the leagues and find somewhere but if it doesnât go well, what then? You have no experience, youâre sent into this new world and then, before you know it, itâs over and youâre out.â
For me football is a game to be loved, to be enjoyed. You will have ups and downs, bu
t I see in some managers how the game has eaten them up. I love the game too much to let that happen to me. You need to get the daily football life out of your system at some point.
