Joe Hart says he could yet still stay at Celtic beyond his retirement as a player this summer.
However, the former England and Manchester City No.1 is adamant this won't be in a coaching capacity.
The Celtic goalkeeper insists coaching 'doesn't do it' for him.
However, the experienced keeper has hinted that he would be up for staying in Glasgow in some sort of different role once he hangs up his gloves.
Hart announced earlier this year that he would retire at the end of the season.
He will be aiming to go out on a high by winning the league and cup double in the final six games of the campaign for the Hoops.
Hart was the hero on Saturday, eventually, as he saved from Killian Phillips to send Celtic into the final of the Scottish Cup in place of Aberdeen. They will take on Rangers on May 25.
The 37-year-old is ultimately still unsure what his next career move will look like after his playing days are over.
But speaking at An Evening with Joe Hart at Celtic Park on Sunday, he told the event that he's had talks with Brendan Rodgers.

He said: "I've not taken any coaching badges, that was quite a conscious decision. I know that coaching and management is ingrained in a lot of people. But for me, it doesn't necessarily do it for me. I want to help, I want to give back, but there's different ways that I can do it.
"I'll always be available to Celtic if they ever need to lean on me for anything, I've made the manager and the club aware of that. But coaching a specific team? That's not something that I'm looking to do."
He added: "I'm going to try (go out with a bang). I'm really going to leave it all on the line. That's what I've done throughout my career and sometimes it's worked, sometimes it hasn't."
