Seamus Coleman is at the back end of his career and a coaching role at Everton looks like an obvious next step for the defender.
James Tarkowski firmly believes that Coleman has what it takes to become a brilliant manager in the future.
Leighton Baines has already highlighted the path available for players to retire into a coaching role at Finch Farm.
What should be next for Seamus Coleman after his current Everton contract? 🤔
Can he really still provide an impact on the pitch… 😬
Although Coleman may have the traits to become a manager, there will have to be a plan in place and starting his coaching career at Everton feels the obvious next move.
James Tarkowski expects Seamus Coleman to become a great manager
Coleman has already earned his coaching badges on Merseyside, with the 37-year-old recently spotted helping Moyes during his touchline ban against Fulham.
The Ireland international’s best days are now behind him on the pitch, but a new career in coaching beckons.

“Whatever he does would be amazing. I’d see him as a manager with the way he speaks and the way he can talk and lead. I think people call that ‘head coach’ now, but in my eyes, he’s a manager,” Tarkowski told ToffeeTV.
“Whatever he wants to do, he’ll be able to do it because of the person he is and the way he strives and drives himself.
“Even though the last few years have been tough for him in terms of injuries, he is still putting that demand on himself all the time. Anytime he trains, he’s always one of the best players in training.”
Baines has earned the respect of Everton’s players as a coach, with James Garner hailing him as the ‘main man’ at Finch Farm.
It is hard to imagine this would not be the same for Coleman if he was to go into a coaching role with the club.
Moyes has already expressed his demand to retain Coleman at Everton in whatever way he can.
The Irishman’s contract is set to expire this summer and a big decision will have to be made on what lies next for his career.
Coleman has only played a mere 12 minutes in the Premier League this season, which may say everything that needs to be said about what could be next for him.
