Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has claimed that he is "determined" to prove that he can be a good manager.
The 40-year-old, who made more than 300 appearances for the Reds in his playing career, is currently working on gaining his UEFA Pro Licence.
"I've got the other coaching badges and now I'm doing the Pro Licence, which is the highest one you can do," Fowler told the Liverpool Echo.
"I started it in January and it will take around a year. By next June I should have completed it. Everyone knows I want to be a manager. It's what I have always longed for and I am almost there now.
"Regardless of what people think about me, I believe I'd make a good manager and I am determined to prove that."
Fowler ended his playing career in 2012.
