He said on Marawa Sports Worldwide: “What’s more important is what I offer on a daily basis on and off the field and the club will reward me based on that.

“So if the club feels like ‘no, Itu we’ve had enough or thank you for your services’, then if we have to part ways we will. That will be the club’s decision.

“But if the club says ‘Itu, we would like to keep you but in a different position’, I will still gladly appreciate what the club has done for me.

“So if I have to go coach, I will sit down with my wife, discuss and see if I still have it in my legs. So there’s a lot that we are going to discuss.”

Itumeleng Khune concluded: “I’m not ready to retire, I’m not ready to.”
