Usain Bolt

Two time 100m and 200m Olympic Champion Usain Bolt has opened doors to play football for his native country Jamaica after his retirement from running post the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Winfried Schaefer, the coach of the Jamaica national football team has welcomed the world’s fastest man into his team,when he retires from athletics.

The 27-year-old has long been known to be a Manchester United fan, but has responded to the national team coach’s invitation via an Instagram post hinting his desire to play football for the national team.

Schaefer when quizzed about the possibility of the 6 time Olympic champion becoming an international footballer, he replied: ‘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.”

Post the 2016 Rio Olympics, Bolt will be 30 years old, when he plans to finally draw curtains to what has been a legendary career.
