‘I’m ready to be ahead coach’
KICK OFF: What was it like to be back on the pitch with some of your former Manchester United teammates in the recent charity match against Liverpool?
Quinton Fortune: It was great, my body took a beating because I still think I can sprint! There was a great atmosphere and I think we will play them again in September. These are major moments because so many supporters came to watch, I think we had 50,000 to 60,000 people in attendance, which is unbelievable. All the funds go to our foundation, which helps the community in Manchester. So yes, we want to go out there, compete and beat Liverpool, but there is a bigger picture at the end of the day. It was a successful day as we were able to raise a lot of money and we go again in September at Anfield.
“IT WAS DIFFICULT TO HANG MY BOOTS BUT WHEN I GOT INVOLVED WITH COACHING, I TRULY FOUND A NEW PASSION.”
That’s great. With regards to coaching, you spent two years at Reading. How would you describe the experience?
It was a great experience. Just missing out on the playoffs in our first season and dealing with a transfer embargo in our second season.
You worked
