Former Man Utd defender, Phil Jones announces retirement
Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones has revealed his ambition to pursue a career in management after officially announcing his retirement.
Jones, who departed Manchester United in May 2023, retired at the age of 32.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Jones said, “My career ended sooner than I would have preferred.”
“[I’m] glass half full. [I have] completed my A licence and I want to get out there and challenge myself in coaching.
“Ultimately I want to take charge of a team. I am determined to get there.”
Jones played his last game for the Red Devils against Brentford a year prior to his exit from the Premier League club.
He joined Man United from Blackburn Rovers in 2011.
However, injuries saw him struggle to stay fit towards the end of his career at Old Trafford.
Jones did not sign for another club and is now targeting a career in coaching having returned to Man United last September to help the U-18 side.
