Liverpool veteran James Milner admits he's unsure about a career in management after retirement.
As the Reds' vice-captain edges towards his 37th birthday, many have urged Liverpool to retain Milner in some capacity as a coach once he decides to call time on his glittering playing career.
"I don't know, you try and help out where you can," said Milner, when quizzed on a potential career in management by ex-England team-mate Ben Foster. "I'm doing my badges, I've done quite a few sessions with the younger guys at the academy, which is good.
"It's easy, isn't it? It's football. You basically do it every day in training anyway, you help each other and talk about what's going on. But it's hard, isn't it? You see a manager come in, do well, get a new contract and get sacked six months later."
Voicing his suspicions on such a career, Milner added: "Do you want that stress? It's crazy and for me any manager needs at least a couple of years, to put in his ideas and get the players he wants, you're changing a culture and it takes time.
"But football is a business and if you're going down the wrong path, it changes quickly."
