Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer feels his management ambitions are over.
Shearer admits he's been out of the game for too long to be considered.
Speaking at the new launch of BBC Match of the Day, Shearer said: "The longer you're out the game the harder it is to get back in and that candle isn't burning as much as it was when I finished playing, so I don't think I will go into management now.
"It hasn't been until the last three or four years that I've felt comfortable as a pundit on Match of the Day because if I'm honest, I always felt I'd go back into management.
"I was reluctant to sit there and criticise too much, so I probably wasn't saying it as it was."
