Chelsea midfielder Thiago Silva said he wants to engage in coaching after retiring.

Speaking to The Guardian, Silva said: “On the field, I’m already a bit like a coach, right? When I stand and observe what happens from the defense, I see a lot of plays. And then I warn the players. others about certain situations.

I talk with the assistant team, with Pochettino so we don’t make mistakes. Sometimes, it’s just us on the field who realize what’s wrong and what can be done better. And there are situations that those standing on the field with a clear mind can see much more clearly. This relationship is very important.”

Silva is 39 years old this year, and only has a contract with Chelsea until the end of this season. The Brazilian veteran arrived at The Blues for free in 2020, becoming an important link in the club. Silva and Chelsea won the 2020/21 Champions League as well as pocketing two other titles including the European Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

This season, Silva and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez are the two players who have not missed a minute for Chelsea in the Premier League. That’s enough to see how important the former PSG star is to the Blues, and he receives absolute trust from coach Pochettino.

On November 7, Chelsea will be a guest against Tottenham . Silva is likely to continue to play as a starter because his experience is essential to the Blues’ youth-rich squad.
