Carragher: I’d be more Mourinho than Guardiola as a boss but don’t fancy management

The Liverpool legend admits that coaching was part of his plan at one stage, but he is now eager to steer clear of the pressure and criticism

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says he would be more Jose Mourinho than Pep Guardiola if he ever went into management, but he has no desire to take on the stresses of coaching.

There was a time when the ex-England international thought that his career would be extended in the dugout once the day came to hang up his boots.

As he edged ever closer to retirement, though, a man who spent all of his playing days at Anfield decided that severing ties with competitive action was the best decision for him.
