Arsenal midfielder Jorginho ponders coaching career

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has spoken about moving into a coaching role after his playing days are over.

The veteran midfielder, who is now 31, has been speaking about where he will be playing for the coming years.

Jorginho had been hoping to stay at Arsenal for a long time, but he has been on the periphery of the team this season.

"I just can't hold it," he admitted on Arsenal's Colney Carpool show regarding giving advice from the touchline when not starting.

"I want to help somehow when I'm on the sidelines or warming up or from the bench, I just try and help the team somehow."

On coaching, he added: "Maybe, to be honest, I thought it could maybe be a good option for the future.

"But I always thought I don't want to because just playing is already so busy and to be a coach, it is even busier. I always thought I didn't know, but now I get to my age, so maybe I'm changing my mind. I'm enjoying it, it's nice."
