Philippine football mainstay Stephan Schröck is open to future opportunities to help grow the sport locally, including possible coaching gigs.
MANILA, Philippines – Minutes after playing his final match for the Philippine Azkals, Stephan Schröck immediately expressed his desire to continue being around the national football team in some capacity. The 36-year-old Schröck hinted that he might take a coaching position soon: “I’d love to stay. I know it’s difficult, I know it’s not the easiest job, [Azkals head] coach [Josep Ferré] would tell you more about that, but I’d love to be involved.
“Like I said, I’d love to be involved in football, unlike others who retired, and I wanna give back. I wanna give back, and let’s see how that one pans out.” After absorbing an opening fixture upset to Cambodia, the Philippines bounced back and notched its breakthrough victory versus Brunei, the eventual fifth placers in the group.
Schröck, though, was glad that he was able to play in front of the home fans for one last time: “Amazing. I was very proud and happy that my last game would be here against a very, very good opponent.” Schröck, who accumulated 57 caps for the Azkals, mentioned that his farewell game was an “emotional day” for her mother too, as she was the one who influenced him in favoring a move back to the Philippines.
