David Silva eyes coaching


Manchester City Legend, David Silva is weighing up the options of going into coaching after he finishes his playing career.
The 34-year-old is approaching the twilight of his career as he enters into the final year of his contract at City.
Silva has since made it clear that he will not be renewing his contract with the Citizens and is now contemplating a career in coaching after spending 10 years at the Etihad.
“Not at the beginning, but as the time goes by, I’m having more interest,” Silva told CityTV.  


“Maybe when I retire from football, I feel that I would like to become a manager.
“Now, I don’t know – I still want to play for a few more years.”
Silva’s admission will come as no surprise to heir apparent Phil Foden, with the City youngster having already revealed that he expects the Spaniard to put his leadership skills to good use in the dugout.  
The 19-year-old, who is being tipped to slip into Silva’s boots with the Blues, said in January of a departing colleague: “Everyone looks up to him, even the younger ones.


He is a captain now, and a leader, and does it really well.  
“I don’t want to speak about him leaving – he’s not gone yet!  
“He sees everything like a manager now, so if I’m playing and he’s not he will see something, and it’s the same in training, if he sees something that needs improving,” he said.
