Manchester City are offering club legend Pablo Zabaleta the chance to come back in a non-playing capacity.

The Argentine spent nine seasons at City, winning every domestic trophy on offer.

He has now retired from football since being released by West Ham United.

And according to the Daily Mail, City are happy to bring Zabaleta into the fold if he wants to go into coaching.

His wealth of experience and affinity with the club would make him the ideal first team or youth team coach.

City did similar with Patrick Vieira and Joleon Lescott when they wanted to pursue new avenues after their playing careers were over.
