Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 skipper seeks to get a coaching badge and hinted that he could return to football as a manager following his retirement as a player.
The former Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 midfielder intends to earn a coaching license in order to pursue a managerial career in the near future. The 36-year-old just recently called time on his playing career as he no longer had the desire
to train week in week out.
The central midfielder played at the top level for 17 years and represented a host of top European clubs, winning many accolades on the way. He confirmed his departure from the game last week, but insisted that he might consider a future coaching role, although
no decisions has been made yet.
The former Germany international is exploring his options as he is now free to do whatever he wants. As a result, he is planning to get a coaching license to widen his options. He won 98 caps for his county and was offered two more friendlies to reach the
milestone 100 but declined the chance because of problems with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929.
Ballack stressed that he is going through all the trouble to become a tactician. However, he said it is still not certain that he will become a coach. The experienced player stated that he has started acting like a manager and has not finalised when he will
start the course.
"I am to undergo the courses to become a manager in the game,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
"That is not to say I will definitely become a manager. At this point in time it's just important for me to ensure I am getting the impression of what it's like to be thinking like a manager,” he added.
"I want to train as a manager. I am yet to decide when I will start with it,” he mused.
"One thing is for sure - football will be a part of my life in the future," he finally concluded.
Finally, the talented attacker said that the only thing definite is that football will be a part of his life.
