Shaun Goater has declared his desire to return to the UK to pursue a coaching career in professional football.The former Manchester City striker was a guest on Sky Sports’ Soccer AM show last weekend when he revealed his intentions to move into full-time coaching.Goater, who is believed to be one of three candidates being considered for the vacant Bermuda national team coaching job, said he felt he was ready to leave the Island to fulfill his coaching ambitions.“I’m going to come back and do some coaching. Coaching is the real desire I have now,” said the North Village boss.The 42-year-old planned to turn his back on the game after returning home to Bermuda where he has several businesses interests, but admitted he had missed being involved in top level football.“I’ve been pretty busy but the time I do get I try and spend it with the family and a lot in educational football,” said Goater, who attended Manchester City’s 1-0 win over title rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Monday night a fixture he famously scored twice in.“There are partners in the businesses, but I’ll pretty much leave that behind. When I went back to Bermuda I thought I could leave football behind, but it’s a case of having a real hunger and I’m missing watching games, and I just really want to be here now.”Goater’s first professional club was Manchester United, but he did not reach the first team, making his League debut in 1989 after moving to Rotherham United.He played for Rotherham for seven years before moving to Bristol City in 1996. Two years later he moved to Manchester City for a fee of £400,000 where he became a firm fans’ favourite.Goater is most well known for his time at Manchester City, where he scored over 100 goals between 1998 and 2003, finishing as the club’s top scorer for four consecutive seasons. After leaving City, he had spells with Reading, Coventry City and Southend United, before retiring in May, 2006.A former Bermuda Hogges co-owner, Goater has been one of the most successful domestic coaches in recent seasons, winning six trophies since taking the reins at Village more than three years ago.Last month Goater led the Rams into the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championships for the first time in the club’s history, having qualified by winning the 2010-11 Premier Division title.Village, however, finished bottom of their three-team group in the Cayman Islands, where they played two local sides, drawing 0-0 with George Town and losing 2-1 to Elite Sports Club.
