Manchester City coach David Platt admits he'd consider a management return.

Platt is impressing as Roberto Mancini's offsider at Etihad.

Platt told the Daily Express: "What have I done here at City really other than have great players at my disposal with a manager who has won things before, who is driven by winning, and I'm his No 2?

"But I'd have more chance now of getting back in. I'm not different, so it doesn't fit. Why wouldn't that chairman sit down with me? I felt there was a perception out there. But I'm showbiz again. I'd get an interview now.

"I never really thought I'd come back. I felt the industry at the level I'd be going into was so difficult it was untrue, like a snakes and ladders board only there's more snakes than ladders.

"Is there something in me that wants to prove people wrong after Forest? No, I would do it because I enjoy the drug, the tension, pitting my wits against people.

"I'm honest enough to know myself and make judgments about myself. I don't mind being able to count my friends on one hand."
