LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane reveals that he is interested in moving into management when his playing days are over.

Los Angeles Galaxy striker Robbie Keane has revealed that he would be interested in moving into management when he finally hangs up his boots.

Keane became the Republic of Ireland's highest ever appearance maker in their match against the Faroe Islands on Friday, scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 win for his side.

The 32-year-old revealed that he will take his coaching badges later this year, but insists that he is not ready to give up playing anytime soon.

"It's the only thing I know, so when I stop playing football, what else am I going to do? This is all I know," said Keane.

"I wake up every morning and look forward to going training. I could never imagine the day that's going to end, so it's certainly something I am going to look into.

"I am doing my coaching badges in December - but I am going to try to play as long as I can first. I have just signed a two-year contract, possibly three years, so at this moment in time, I'm not thinking too far ahead."

Keane will captain Ireland against world and European champions Spain in an international friendly in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
