Seamus Coleman may not be returning to Killybegs anytime soon if he pursues his retirement dream.
‘I don’t want to be a coach. I want to be a manager,” the Everton skipper has revealed after signing on for one more year with the Toffees.
The 34-year-old joined the Toffees in 2009 and is the club’s longest-serving current player.
As he recuperates from a knee injury, Coleman is hoping to return to action before retirement. After he hangs up his boots though, he said he and his family may stay in the UK.
He told The Mail: “If you had asked me five years ago, what life would be like at 40, I’d have said ‘disappear back to Killybegs, playing Gaelic football; enjoying life with my family. And you’ll never hear from me again’.
“But me and my family are very happy over here – and I love football.
“I don’t want to be a coach. I want to be a manager. That’s something I definitely want to do. Here? Aye. In life you have got to have dreams and you have got to say things out loud. If it can happen, why not?”
