Newcastle United midfielder Nicky Butt is eyeing a coaching career once he hangs up his boots.
I've started my coaching badges because that is something that interests me in the future," Butt told The Journal.
"I've done my first one and I'm halfway through my second one, my A Licence. I don't want to dive in straight away. I'd like to spend some time with my family at home and do things that I can't really do now, but in the future maybe. To be honest, I'm not thinking about that at the moment, I just want to play as long as I can. But I'd only play as long as I feel good and okay.
"I don't know whether I see myself as a number one or just a coach in the future. I'm just doing my coaching badges because I'd be foolish not to do it.
"You get given opportunities to do it by the FA and it makes it a lot easier than if you weren't involved in football. I started doing my badges with a couple of lads when I was at Manchester United. It is difficult to fit it in with all the games you have. And then in the summer you can't just go away for two weeks and leave your family, but I do intend to get it finished before I finish playing football." |
