New Leeds United signing Josuha Guilavogui has admitted he is already planning for life after his playing career comes to an end and undertaking his coaching badges.
Girondins 4 Ever cover comments from the midfielder to RMC Sport today in which he admits he’s already planned the next steps of his career.
The 34-year-old is a new arrival at Elland Road, joining on a free transfer earlier this month after a spell as a free agent following his departure from FSV Mainz.
It’s the latest step in a varied career for the midfielder, who has played in France, Spain and Germany and will now be adding England to his collection with Leeds.
What happens after that remains to be seen, with many players remaining involved in the game in some capacity after they bring their careers to an end.
It’s something the Leeds man is already thinking about, and working on, as he revealed his efforts to RMC.
“I think that, and I am even sure of it, I will stay on the ground,” he said.
“There may be agents, sports directors, truth is the green rectangle, that’s where I feel most at home comfortable.
“So why not start coaching young people or join a professional staff and also take care of the young people in the reserve who become professionals, to work a little more specifically after the sessions.
“But I am in the process of passing my CTP with UEFA, and there are quite a few doors that are open.”
