Tottenham captain Robbie Keane has revealed an ambition to follow in the footsteps of namesake Roy and take up a coaching role when he retires from playing.

The 27-year-old Republic of Ireland striker will not pursue his ambition while he is playing but is keen to remain in the game when he finishes.

"I'm at the age now where I have started to think about it and I'd like to get into coaching," Keane said.

"It's not something I'll do now as I don't want to put any more pressure on myself and want to concentrate on playing, but it's something I'll look to do in the future."
