Manchester United striker Michael Owen says he would like to go into management once he hangs up his boots.
The injury-plagued 30-year-old is currently recovering from a ruptured hamstring suffered in the League Cup Final against Aston Villa last season.
The former Anfield favourite has taken his coaching badges and says that he is interested in coaching in the lower leagues to learn the in-and-outs of management.
"If you'd asked me about becoming a manager two years ago, I'd have said no but now there's about an 80 per cent chance of me trying to give it a go," Owen told the Sunday Mirror.
"I decided to take my coaching badges at Newcastle when I was 27 and injured, sitting in the standing watching games.
"That's when you start forming an opinion on what players do and which formations work. You look at football in a different way.
"I wouldn't rule out anything. When Chester were in the mire, I thought 'I'd love to help save them, get them up a few divisions'. Serving my apprenticeship, lower down, wouldn't scare me."
