Alan Shearer vows to never return to managerial dugout

Former Newcastle United boss Alan Shearer insists that he does not plan to move back into management again.

Alan Shearer has revealed that he has no intention to ever take charge of a club again following his ill-fated spell as Newcastle United manager.

The Magpies legend was unable to help his boyhood side remain in the Premier League seven years ago, but he was expected to make a quick return to the dugout.

A managerial career never quite materialised, however, and Shearer admits that he is now more suited to his role as a pundit to ever contemplate changing paths once again.

"Even after 2009, I was still thinking I was going to be a manager and I wanted to do it," he told The Sun. "Despite how things went at Newcastle, I loved what I was involved in there.

"I had a few other offers. Cardiff in 2011 was well documented at the time, and I've had a few more since then. But nothing ever tempted me and that's it now. I'd be amazed if I ever went back into it.

"The longer you are out of it, the more difficult it is to get back in. You have got to have a real desire to do it, which I don't. But the main reason I won't go back is because I love what I am doing now. I'm at the FA Cup final and then the Euros this summer - it's a very privileged job to be in."

Shearer was in charge of Newcastle for eight games at the end of the 2008-09 campaign, winning just one - a 3-1 victory over Middlesbrough at St James' Park.
