Referee Jonathan Moss has revealed that he would love to become a football manager.

The 44-year old match official is set to oversee Saturday's FA Cup final between Arsenal and Aston Villa but told The Times that he would actually love to be on the other side of the touchline.

"I would love to do it," he said.

"If you can manage people, I think the skills are transferable. I would love to do the Pro Licence. It's fitting the time in after I finish my refereeing career.

"We join in the coaching sessions on club visits. I will stop the coach and ask 'what are you doing there, why did you do that?' I'll take notes when I get home.

"Then I can say 'I saw Chelsea and they were doing this' and I transfer it to my teams at the weekend.

"Management? I'd love to give it a try."

The Sunderland native has undertaken his UEFA Pro B coaching badges and currently coaches under-age sides as he continues his possible transition from refereeing to management.
