I feel fit. I love playing football, and I want to play as long as I can. But you\u2019re a long time retired in this game, and I don\u2019t see myself just doing nothing after football.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201dFor me, it\u2019s a great learning experience as well &#8211; to see how it all works behind the scenes in the world of football. This is a great start. It\u2019s more than just a role for me; it\u2019s great to be able to give back as much as I can to a footballing country that\u2019s given me so much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201dIt\u2019s hard to put a nail in it where your future lies. If something falls on my lap in the coaching world, then maybe that will be my route. But I want to be able to use my expertise and what I\u2019ve learned in the best way that it can be, and I don\u2019t know what angle that takes after football yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201dI\u2019d like to be someone who maybe, at some point, crosses that divide from a player to the boardroom or a front-office kind of role, because I haven\u2019t seen too many players over the years who have done that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI think it definitely adds a pretty good perspective when making decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201dLook, hopefully [retirement] is still quite a few years away.
