# Thiago Silva Wants To Be A Coach

Thiago Silva wants to be a coach.

British media "Goal" reported on the 3rd, "Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has announced his plan to become a coach after his career."

Thiago Silva is not a tall center back, but he is a player who defends with his unique soccer intelligence, positioning ability, jumping, and quickness. When defending, he stretches his feet slightly using clean tackles and predictive ability to intercept and show the strongest performance in one-on-one. In addition, the build-up capabilities that match the modern center back are also excellent.

The 39-year-old started his heyday in AC Milan. Since 2009, he has been considered a key player for Milan until the 2011/12 season, playing in captain's armband and reclaiming the title from Inter Milan in the 2010/11 season.

He moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2012 with his best skills, and immediately established himself as the best center back in the French League. He played for Paris Saint-Germain until the 2019/20 season, scoring 17 goals and 8 assists in a total of 315 games and winning seven league titles, although he did not win the Champions League.

Joining Chelsea for a new challenge in 2020, he was expected to be a substitute mainly because he was old, but he was a key player in Chelsea's defense at that age, leading Chelsea's defense with two goals in 36 games, achieving his dream of winning the Champions League with Thomas Tuchel in Paris.

He played in many games in the 2021/22 season 2022/23 season, holding the center of the team despite the team's breakdown and falling, even though he was this old, and eventually, the team finished 12th in the 2022/23 season, but he was named Chelsea Player of the Year.

Still playing key this 2023/24 season. He has started all 10 Premier League games since the pre-season.

His contract expires next summer but Silva, 39, appears to be considering whether to continue his career beyond 2024. [스포츠토토](https://www.sportstototv.com)

Speaking on Sky Italia, he said: "The end of my career is coming and it's not a simple thing. I have a family with two sons who play for Chelsea, and I have to think about whether to quit my career, continue, or where to go," he said.

He went on to say, "I'm looking at the last year of my contract with Chelsea as an opportunity to make the most of it. But at the age of 39, I am very happy and proud of my career and what I am doing now. Soccer is my passion. I've been preparing all my life to make the most of my work. "I'm sure I'll continue to play soccer after retirement, but I don't know what to do yet," he added.

In an interview with the Guardian, he said he would try to become a coach if he decided to end his career.

Thiago Silva said, "You see a lot of situations while watching the game from behind. And warn [other players] about certain situations. Talk to the staff and coach Pochettino to avoid making mistakes. Sometimes only we on the field can see what's wrong and what we can do better."

He continued, "And there are situations where clear-minded people can see much better off the field. This relationship is important," he added.
