Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed that he is constantly pondering a career in football coaching.

The former centre-back has ventured into the career path of football punditry ever since retiring from professional football in 2013.

When asked about the possibility of entering into football management, in a Q&A session for the Daily Mail, he said: "It's something I think about every week. Not in terms of being desperate to do it.

"Just the intrigue of what it would be like and would I be given an opportunity in the future. Is there a job out there which would stop me from writing for the Daily Mail or appearing on Sky Sports as I enjoy both jobs?

"It would have to be some job as I would have to change my lifestyle.

"I have never been offered a coaching role. People think there could be something at Liverpool. The first time I spoke to Brendan Rodgers, he had just been announced as the Liverpool manager, it was in the summer so players were on holiday. He rang me and he said he wanted me to be on his staff.

"I thought at that stage of my career, I wasn't playing every week under Kenny Dalglish before he was sacked, so I thought I'd play some games and maybe learn the coaching side of it. I then met him face-to-face in Liverpool before we started pre-season training and he changed his mind and brought Mike Marsh in from the academy.

"Maybe if I had landed the role I would still be at the club now or sacked with Brendan. That was the closest I've been."
