Jones officially announced his official retirement as a coach! Earn 32.5 million wealth in Manchester United, freedom, and aim to coach alone

Former Manchester United centre-back Phil · Jones has officially announced his retirement, in fact, he has effectively hung up his boots since the end of his contract with the Red Devils last season, and now it is only officially announced. The 32-year-old was Manchester United's youth coach last season and helped the Red Devils win the 'treble'.

In fact, Jones said goodbye even earlier, having last featured in the 3-0 win over Brentford in 2022/23 and has not played for more than two years since then. In response, Jones said: "There is no doubt that my career ended shorter than I expected. I'm half a glass of water. But I've completed my UEFA A level coaching certificate and I want to go out and challenge myself in coaching. Eventually I want to coach a team and I'm determined to make that happen."

According to the rules, the UEFA A coaching certificate is enough to ensure that Jones becomes a real coach, but he also needs to get a UEFA professional coaching certificate if he wants to coach alone. Before Jones, the last man to make that leap was England midfielder Michael Carrick, who now manages Middlesbrough in the Championship.

Jones joined United from Blackburn Rovers in 2011 and has made 229 appearances in 12 years, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League and 27 appearances for England, but he has suffered a number of injuries throughout his career that have affected his further development. Especially during the period led by Mourinho, he played a closed warm-up match against Germany for England, and directly ruined himself.

Jones recalled: "I did everything I could to get back into the game, but I've been injured so many times and it's an impact on you and your family."

He has praised Jones as the best player he's ever had, but fans are often ridiculed for his unusual defensive style and expression. The scene of falling to the ground and clearing Arsenal center forward Giroud with his head is a Premier League classic.

In response, Jones said he was much more successful than the people who made fun of him. At least he has achieved "financial freedom", with his total income reaching £32.5 million during his time at Manchester United.

Jones quipped, "By the end of my career, I'll be enjoying my retirement life, and I'll be able to stay in my mother's empty house, drink cheap Pepsi, eat instant noodles, and continue to post on social media."

Jones was joined by 34-year-old former Manchester United midfielder Schneiderlin, who thanked all clubs, including Manchester United, in a statement on hanging his boots, with the Red Devils hailed as one of the greatest clubs in the world. Schneiderlin and Jones have both been hampered by injuries in their careers, while another Manchester United veteran, Angel · Gomez, also suffered a bad weekend when he was taken to hospital with a head injury.

The 23-year-old was playing for Lille against Reims when he collided violently in the air with opposing Amadou · Koné, who was sent off with a straight red card, and Gomez fell unconscious. Gomez was stretchered off the pitch and the match was suspended for 34 minutes before LITTLE ANGEL regained consciousness and was taken to hospital. Manchester United also issued an official statement in support of Gomez. In the end, Lille won 2-0 and his teammates raised Gomez's shirt in celebration. Gomes made his Manchester United debut during Jose Mourinho's tenure, setting a team record, when Jones was also in the squad. Hopefully, the players of Manchester United and other teams will stay away from injury.
