Ramsey has been part of Craig Bellamy’s Wales staff in an unofficial capacity in recent months.<\/p>\n

He says he feels ready to move into a coaching job having called time on his 19-year playing career in April.<\/a><\/p>\n

As a player, Ramsey joined Arsenal from boyhood club Cardiff City, then had spells with Juventus, Rangers and Nice before rejoining the Bluebirds in 2023.<\/p>\n

He had a brief stint as Cardiff’s interim boss in 2025 before ending his playing career with Mexican side Pumas UNAM last year.<\/p>\n

Having had a break since making his last playing appearance last September, Ramsey says he wants to return to football because “it’s always important to have a purpose in life”.<\/p>\n

“It’s not in my DNA to just put my feet up,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I feel ready, but that all depends on the opportunity, doesn’t it? So what that will look like will be different from different clubs, different age groups and all of that.<\/p>\n

“For me, I feel ready to coach, to manage, to be inspiring to a group of players, and we’ll see what comes up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ramsey has been part of Craig Bellamy’s Wales staff in an unofficial capacity in recent months.
