Leicester coach Phillips admits turning down Indian offer

Former Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips admits he's turned down an offer from the Indian Super League.

Phillips wrote in the Journal: "I was offered a chance to go and play over there myself. I was already at Leicester and the chance to become a striker coach for this club was an opportunity too good to turn down. A chance to learn at the very highest level in the game and to do your badges does not happen all the time.

"As exciting as the Indian Premier League sounds, nothing can beat being involved in the English Premier League, which of course is as popular as ever over there and across the globe."
