Former Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni is refusing to throw in the coaching towel just yet, after revealing he has offers from "America and Japan" on his table.
Trapattoni left his position as Ireland coach in September, after five years at the helm, following a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign.
While his stellar career also includes spells at AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Italy, Trapattoni may consider a relatively easier option going forward.
The 74-year-old told Radio Anch'io Sport: "I have got many offers from America and Japan.

"But I cannot make the wrong decision. I will have some meetings very soon and I will decide whether to travel east or west.
"I still have a lot of enthusiasm and I continue to coach."
If Trapattoni does decide on Asia, he will be following in the footsteps of compatriot and World Cup winning coach Marcello Lippi, who is currently coaching Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande.
Lippi led Guangzhou to back-to-back Chinese Super League titles since 2012 and capped it with the AFC Champions League title this year.
