Ex-Man Utd, Spurs star Berbatov reveals big coaching plans

Former Manchester United and Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov has revealed plans to enter management.

Berbatov has revealed he is taking his coaching badges with a view to going into management.

He said: "Just finished my coaching lessons for the week. A couple more classes and then who knows? Maybe you're looking at a future manager here.

"Of course football players, we all think we can be great coaches purely because we've been good football players and this is not true.

"That's why it's important to do these classes, so you get your coaching badges and also to see football in a different way — through the eyes of a coach. And it is different, trust me.

"The basic things you already know because you've been playing football all your life, but the important things, you don't know. Now I have a sports management degree and hopefully now my coaching badges.

"The point I'm making is in life, you never know. If the chance comes, you need to be ready to take it."
