Former Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic admits a coaching career could be part of his future.

The Serb is currently with Zenit St Petersburg, where he helped guide them to the Russian Premier League title last season.

Ivanovic told Sport-Express: "It's hard to talk about plans, but now I'm one hundred percent focused on Zenit. I want to stay here, give all my strength to the club.

"I would like to try (coaching). But I like to concentrate on something one hundred percent. To do this, you need to go to a school of trainers, get a license. I have not decided yet.

"I worked with many great specialists, and I can learn something from everyone. Sergei Semak also has something I can learn from: for example, how he explains the strengths and weaknesses of an opponent. I like his approach to communicating with football players."
