Neil Warnock has officially announced his retirement from management on Saturday.
The 73-year-old has taken charge of over 1,600 games in his career dating back to 1980 but has been without a coaching role since leaving Middlesbrough in 2021.
“I’ve had a good run really,” he said of the decision.
“I’m not saying the enthusiasm’s gone, I’ve not lost that, but when I see some of my friends who are struggling health-wise, there comes a time where you have to let your family enjoy a little bit more of your time, in particular my wife Sharon.
“It’s hard to replicate the final whistle when you’re won a game, there’s nothing quite like that in normal life, and you have to realise you’re not going to get that buzz again in that situation.
“But I’m doing a couple of evenings in the theatre, and I imagine I’ll still be nervous before them!”
During his 42-year career, Warnock led a record eight clubs to Premier League promotion.
