Michael Owen has refused to rule out the possibility of him one day entering management.
The 33-year-old Stoke City striker confirmed last week that the current season would be his last as a professional footballer.
Recent reports have linked the former England international with a move into coaching, and Owen has admitted that he would find it hard to say "no" if a tempting offer came along.
"I have not closed the door on management. I find it hard to say no to people. If someone offers you a good job, I'd think, 'I would love to do that'," he told BBC Sport.
Owen made his debut as a youngster for Liverpool back in 1997.
