Kewell, who says he has no designs on quitting the game he loves just yet, says the recent launch of the Harry Kewell Academy has piqued his interest.
The academy, which had its first squad of players through earlier this month, is designed for players aged up to 12.
“If that takes me to other places (including coaching), then so be it. But at the moment I just want to give back to the young kids,” he says.
If a coaching career does beckon, Kewell is wary of the fate of his former boss, and still good friend, John Aloisi, who was sacked just after Christmas.
Many are suggesting Aloisi should pursue an assistant coach role before jumping back into the top job at another club, and Kewell says that might be a wise move.
“Only he will know if he wants to go straight back into it,” he says. “For me, personally, if I was ever to do it, I would go away and learn, because it (coaching) is a different ball game.”
For now though Kewell is hell-bent on getting Heart off the bottom of the A-League table, and still dreams of being on that plane to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
