Bayer Leverkusen's 52-year-old sporting director suggested that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 skipper should consider other options as a career after failing to secure a move, and believes it is the right time for him to retire from
the game.
Former Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270 is seeking a new club after departing the Bundesliga side Leverkusen at the end of last campaign. Therefore, Voller has advised the star player
to change his profession and get coaching badges instead so that he can venture into a managerial post.
The former tactician claimed that the experienced veteran has the quality and genius that a manager requires, therefore, he can become a good coach and can utilise his talent to a good use. Ballack has the attributes of a leader
and has skippered Germany since 2004 till the 2010 World Cup qualification.
"He has the capability and intelligence to be a coach," the former Werder Bremen and 1860 Munich forward was quoted as saying in an interview.
The four-time Bundesliga winner has 98 caps for his country and was offered two friendlies to complete his century of caps after being overlooked for Die Mannschaft team, but refused the offer as he thought it was disrespect to
him. The playmaker is not much publicised following the end of his association with the Factory Squad.
The midfielder joined the Werkself side two years ago from English Premier League team Chelsea. He spent four years with the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup winners. The player won three English Cups and Premier League, Community
Shield and League Cup each in his time with the Blues.
The 35-year-old won the 'German Footballer of the Year' three times in his career and finished runners-up on one occasion. The midfield maestro was speculated to make a switch to the American Major League Soccer League but a move
did not materialise as he stalled the negotiations hoping a bigger team will come for his signature.
The 2002 World Cup runner-up also worked as a football analyst for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-States-c3034 of America's sports channel ESPN for 2012 European Championships.
