Joe Hart on why he can't go into coaching after one game Shrewsbury Town stand-in

Joe Hart has outlined the reasons why he could never become a goalkeeper coach - and why his single game stint at Shrewsbury Town will always be a one off.

Hart made a stunning return to Salop as a stand in keeper coach following the departure of Brian Jensen.

With Salop not having a permanent keeper coach in place, Hart stood in for one game as Gavin Cowan’s men picked up a victory at Salford City.

It was an emotional moment for Hart, who celebrated in front of the travelling Shrewsbury fans with many stunned to see him back in dugout for Salop, years after he first turned out as a young keeper for his hometown club.

At the time Hart insisted it was a one game temporary thing, and he was asked about the move on a recent episode on the YouTube channel Golf Life.

Speaking with Peter Dale, better known as ‘Tubes’ from the former Sky Sports programme Soccer AM, Hart outlined why he could never go into the world of coaching.

He said: “I absolutely loved it. I’m from Shrewsbury, played for Shrewsbury and since I left it was hard to connect with a club that changes all the time.

“League Two, League One, the turnover of players and staff is endless. Two years after leaving I didn’t know anyone there.

“I always wanted to connect, I love the town, it is my town and when Gavin Cowan came in and Dave (Edwards), with the League Two struggles they didn’t have a goalie coach, and I said if I can help I will, and I did for one night and one night only.

“I love football and goalkeeping but I don’t like the professional side of coaching and what it does to your family life.

“I would have to be all in and if I was a coach I would be 24/7 trying to help people get better and I don’t know where it would take me.

“I stand on it. I know what goes into it and I don’t have it in me. Well, I do, but I enjoy don’t have enough room in my life.

“Kids are way more important, I’ve been allowed to chase my dream for as long as I have and I’m happy.”
