"From July 1, 2006 I will be working as a trainer," he said. "Until then I
will fulfil my television contract with (German network) Premiere. My rest
period is over, my batteries have been recharged.
"I have had a complete break and kept away from football. I've travelled
around the world and was in Asia and
"I have played plenty of golf and also learned English and Italian."
So where does he fancy coaching?
"Everything is possible," he said. "I'm open to all offers. I'm also not
closing the door on a job in the Bundesliga."
