I’ve got maybe three months or so, he replied. At the end of the day, I’ve got a family that I need to support. My agent has had a few calls about certain roles so I’m confident come end of the season, there’ll be some opportunities. But if I need to do something different then I need to do something different because I’ve got to provide, but hopefully it doesn’t come to that. I love coaching and managing, so I want to continue to do that, whether that’s here or abroad. Would I consider like a sporting director role or director of football? Potentially, but I’m still only 47. I’ve still got a lot to offer, I’ve just completed my pro licence and got my diploma from the LMA in football management. Beard moved to the NWSL after his first stint at Liverpool between 2013 and 2015, before spending a year with the Boston Breakers. I’m open to furthering my horizons and maybe my education. Going to America taught me so much, especially a different style of play, so I’m open to what’s next.
