Joey Barton believes that he can be the best football coach in the world.

Joey Barton has said that he can become the best football coach in the world.

The Queens Park Rangers midfielder recently undertook a UEFA 'B' licence course in Northern Ireland alongside Spanish journalist Guillem Balague, who, for twentyfour7 Football, interviewed the 30-year-old.

When asked how good a coach he would be, Barton said: "I wouldn't do it if I thought I couldn't be the best in the world.

"As a player I set out to become the best player in the world. Obviously I don't live in a fantasy world, and I know that I never reached that as a player.

"I had a good go and maybe could have given it a bit more... I look back on my playing career fondly."

Having spent last season on loan in France with Marseille, Barton is now reportedly ready to take a pay cut to join Everton in the Premier League.
