Retiring Michael Owen says that he could possibly move into management once his playing days are over.

Michael Owen has refused to rule out the possibility of him one day entering management.

The 33-year-old Stoke City striker confirmed last week that the current season would be his last as a professional footballer.

Recent reports have linked the former England international with a move into coaching, and Owen has admitted that he would find it hard to say "no" if a tempting offer came along.

"I have not closed the door on management. I find it hard to say no to people. If someone offers you a good job, I'd think, 'I would love to do that'," he told BBC Sport.

Owen made his debut as a youngster for Liverpool back in 1997.
