Usain Bolt has fuelled speculation he could play football for his native Jamaica.
Jamaica boss Winfried Schaefer this week claimed he would welcome the world’s fastest man into his squad when he retires from athletics after the 2016 Olympics.
And the 27-year-old six-time Olympic champion – a big Manchester United fan – reacted to Schaefer’s admission with an Instagram post that strongly hinted he is open to the idea.
Accompanied by a picture of a newspaper front page on the story, Bolt wrote: ‘Jamaica how we look? Hmmm..A we say to the world and anything possible.. #SeriousFace #ReggaeBoyz#ForeverFaster #FutureOption #MadTalent#Anything
On the possibility of Bolt becoming an international footballer,
Schaefer was quoted by Jamaican media as saying: ‘I hope he wants to
play for his country because we can make him a very good player. After
the 2016 Olympics in Brazil I want to see him here in our training, that
is what I want to tell him.‘When he has good training with our team here in Jamaica and learns with the ball then he’ll be one of the best players.
‘We can make him very good when he plays professionally and I’m his coach.’
Bolt will be 30 years old by the end of the 2016 Games, when he plans to end his legendary track career.
