Chelsea great Hazard won't rule out coaching career

Chelsea great Eden Hazard won't rule out taking up a coaching career.

Hazard retired in August at 33 after being released from his contract at Real Madrid a year early.

He told the London Evening Standard: "I don't know [what's next].

"I don't think I'll coach professionally, but I think I can coach for youth teams. I have kids, and I want to teach them how to play football."

Of his time with Chelsea, Hazard said: "I spent seven years there… it was the best memory of my football career.

"My best season was the second season with [Jose] Mourinho when we won the Premier League and League Cup.

"The manager was the Special One and it's so hard to explain the feelings after games with the fans all happy."
