Spurs hero King happy to take first steps in coaching

Tottenham hero Ledley King is enjoying taking his first steps in coaching.

King is now doing some work at Spurs after hanging up the boots.

He told the London Evening Standard: "It is such early days and I do not want to talk about being a manager because I have got so much to learn. So far I have enjoyed it but there is a long way to go. If I do enjoy it as much as I think I will, I'll go for it 100 per cent. Andre Villas-Boas has said to me I can go into his office at any time for advice and it is something I will take him up on.

"I am able to join in with some of the academy kids at Spurs and I helped out Les Ferdinand and Tim Sherwood with the development squad last season. I am just trying to learn as much as I can."
