West Ham United striker Mido sees a future for himself in management.

The Egypt international is on-loan at West Ham from Middlesbrough.

"I would love to be a manager," said Mido. "It's a difficult job. I feel sorry for them to be honest. It's a lot of pressure, a lot of ups and downs. As a coach you take full responsibility for everything. You need to have a big character.

"The first thing I would do is be honest to players. I would say exactly what I think. I won't cheat players. I won't tell them things just to get them to join my team. I would have the guts to talk to a player if he came to my office and tell him why he's not playing.

"I've worked with managers who didn't have enough character to do this."
