Neil Warnock reveals where he is looking to finish managerial career, yes, he wants one last go before he finally retires from the game.
The 71-year-old departed Championship outfit Cardiff City in November last year, which has seen him make it to 50 years in football as a player, coach and manager and has been in charge a total of 1,488 games.
He has recently opened up about how he has been motivated to reach the milestone of 1,500 competitive matches.
Warnock said, in an interview with BBC Radio Wales breakfast on where he will finish his managerial career: “Apparently I have 12 league games to go to get 1,500 and that is really tempting to me/
“I might have to go to League Two or something like that, but why not? It doesn’t bother me what division I am managing in.
“I just think I will go to the end of this season. We are doing quite a bit of renovation at the house in Cornwall and it will be finished at the end of the season.
“So I think Sharon [his wife] will be happy for me to be out of the house for a few weeks!
“People have mentioned things, but I have had no offers yet.
“I would like to do the 12 games if I am honest, I would like to be able to contribute to a club, either saving it or getting it up.
“Arsenal didn’t come in for me, but I was understanding!”

‘I said to Sharon, I said look love. I could sit on my tractor down here in Cornwall or I could have one more bash. I know I’ve got it in my. Look at my record, it’s second to none. All I ask for is that set of lads to give it their all. I love this game though; isn’t it great?’
