STEVEN PRESSLEY is considering opportunities from as far afield as Africa as he seeks a route back into football.
Pressley has been out of the game since being fired from his job as Carlisle manager in November, and is looking for the right role as he pnders his future.
“I don’t know what I want to do at the moment,” he said.
“In football you can get pigeon-holed as a manager, but I’m open to exploring other options too. I just love being out on the grass and working with players.
“I’ve had some interesting offers. I actually had a couple of enquiries out the blue to see if I would be interested in coming over to Africa to manage national teams, and both of those sides have really good players.
“That might be an interesting option, or perhaps even going into the right role to work with younger players, providing there was a clear path into the first team.
“A job like I did at Falkirk or Coventry, and that I was trying to do at Carlisle, would also be intriguing too.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
