The former France international spent 14 years playing in England and he suggested he would be keen to return there as a player before he looks to take his career in a different direction.

"I think I still have two years in the legs, but the years spent with Pep Guardiola made me want to become a coach," Clichy said. "I am going to give it a go because I love the way he conducts himself as manager.

"I want my three years here in Turkey, I've liked that I could be important to players around me.

"(After that) England is an option and staying in Turkey is an option. England is a place I love, but I call it home and coming back home would be great for my family and me."
