Everton winger Andros Townsend is unsure about his post-playing career.
Townsend, 31, has been sidelined for the Toffees for 12 months after rupturing his ACL in March 2022.
Speaking to FC Business Magazine, Townsend said: “When you hit 28 or 29 years old, it is probably something that is on your mind almost every day. Before that when you are young, you
think your career will last forever. You don't worry about your coaching badges and that side of it. But then in your late 20s when you have kids, honestly it is all you think about! So it is something I have been planning for the last two or three years.
“I have dabbled in the football media as well to get experience there. Consequently when that day comes when I do retire, it won't be a culture shock. It won't be a case of: 'What am I going to do for the rest of my life now?' Hopefully I will be at the stage where I have experience in the media, I've got experience in coaching and I've got my coaching badges, so it will be a case of which path do I want to take?"
