Former Chelsea and West Ham midfielder Joe Cole says he's back in England to pursue a coaching career.
Cole announced his retirement last week.
"Time waits for no man," Cole, who last played for Tampa Bay Rowdies in the United States, told Sky Sports. "It was getting harder and harder to get out of bed. The mind wants to do it but the body was telling me that it was enough.
"I'm back over in England, I enjoyed my time in America and wouldn't change it for the world. But I'm back over here now ready for the next chapter.
"It was just the right time (to retire). If I stayed out in America I could probably still play but it's time to draw a line in the sand and move on."
