Roy Keane has said that he does not plan to be a pundit in 10 years and suggested that he may not remain in the job beyond the upcoming season.
"Hopefully, I'll be out of this rat race in about 12 months," Keane said with a smile.
"A nice house somewhere, a bit of land, a few animals."
Jamie Carragher then asked the Irishman if he sees himself still working as a football pundit 10 years from now.
Keane flatly rejected any chance of that happening, and even hinted that he may be in his final season as a pundit.
"Absolutely f**king not," Keane said.
"Jesus Christ, you must be joking. I'll struggle for the next 10 months doing this."
The former Ireland midfielder explained that he still loves football, but finds it difficult attending games and interacting with some fans.
"I love football, but the hassle of matches, getting to games and the hassle of fans... I was in court a few months ago with somebody headbutting me... Do you think I enjoy that side of it? Absolutely not.
"The games are fine. Getting to the games, parking up, people shouting your name... good stuff, bad stuff... it’s a nuisance, isn't it? Are we all in an agreement?
"Being a pundit in 10 years? No."
Keane currently works as a pundit for Sky Sports and ITV, as well as the Stick to Football podcast.
The Irishman is one of the most popular pundits covering the Premier League, known for his outspoken views.
