Man Utd legend Van Nistelrooy has coaching ambitions

Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy admits he has coaching ambitions.

The former striker says he has ambitions to go into coaching, although not before a long overdue break from the game.

"I'm staying in Marbella," he told the Mirror. "I played for Malaga last season and got to live in Marbella, so I've stayed there.

"This is my first year not playing after 20 seasons, but I'm enjoying it.

"Maybe I'll do some coaching in the future, maybe get into my badges and stuff. But I don't miss playing because I went right through to the end and realised enough was enough.

"I realised I couldn't go any further and accepted it. I've moved on and I didn't have the feeling that I still had more in me."
