Steven Davis is set to be offered a new coaching role just days after announcing his retirement from football, according to a report.

The Rangers hero confirmed he'd played his final game this week.

The Northern Ireland legend picked up a serious knee injury while playing for his boyhood club back in December 2022, early in Michael Beale's tenure.

He underwent surgery and he was ruled out long-term, however, he's not been seen back on the pitch as a player since.

Davis called time on his career aged 39 this week. Philippe Clement paid a fitting tribute to the former midfielder, insisting that the door would always be open for him at Ibrox.

Of course, after Beale's sacking, he stepped up to take on the job as caretaker for two games before Clement's arrival in October.

Now, The Belfast Telegraph reports that Davis will be offered the chance to join Northern Ireland's coaching staff.

He is the most-capped men's footballer from the UK, playing 140 times for his country.

It's claimed boss Michael O'Neill has already held talks with Davis about joining the national team setup in a coaching capacity.

Davis addressed his future earlier this week. He said: "It’s a strange sensation today, but ultimately it has been at the back of my mind given the nature of the injury and my age.

"I did some testing four weeks ago and I realised I was still a little bit away. It feels like the time is right and I’m comfortable with it.

"It’s been an incredible journey to get to two European finals and win the trophies that I have, share those moments with the fans, be within the dressing room with your family after the games."
