Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has revealed he hopes to be a coach at Anfield when he retires.
The 25-year-old looked certain to join Chelsea in the summer, only to have a dramatic change of heart and sign a new four-year contract with the club.
Skipper Gerrard told Liverpool's website: "I'm always thinking about what I'll do after football.
"It's always been my idea to stay involved with this football club for as long as I can."
He added: "I've been here since I was eight years of age and it would be wonderful to think I could still be here after hanging up my boots. Whether that'd be in a managerial or coaching capacity I'm not sure.
"Of course, I'm still only 25 and the end of my playing career is still a long way off but the future is something that is constantly on my mind.
"Whatever happens I hope it is something linked with Liverpool."
