LA Galaxy fullback Ashley Cole hopes to return to Chelsea when he retires.

The 35-year-old has started to consider what he will do after he retires and admits he wants to return to Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I hope I can go back to Chelsea and do something there, not so much coaching but scouting or something.

"I enjoy scouting, watching the young lads come through. I have done a little for my agent, but I'd like to do something a bit more serious. I'd love to go back to work at Chelsea somewhere, somehow.

"When you win the Champions League as I did with Chelsea, it is the ultimate. Just the feeling to know I have played in a team and won a trophy that a lot of teams would want to win. You play against all the big teams.

"(Playing in and beating Bayern) Munich will always stick in my brain. Even when I watch it now or I see clips of the penalties, I still get goosebumps."
