Mo Farah has revealed he would like to work as a fitness coach at his beloved Arsenal after retiring from athletics.

According to Daily Mail, there is little indication that the veteran’s career is coming to an end after years of success as a leading long-distance runner, but that hasn't stopped the four-time Olympic champion from training his sights on life away from the track.

Clinching gold medals over the years is not the only thing that interests Farah, but also a future at Arsenal.

'One thing I really love is football and I have a good relationship with Arsenal,' Farah told The Sunday Times Magazine. 'I started supporting them when I first came to Britain as a kid. 

'I liked the way they played. They also had a lot of players from African backgrounds. One day, I'd love to be able to work for them, maybe as a fitness coach. 

'I'm a big believer in what the body's capable of with proper training.'

The most successful British track athlete in modern Olympic Games history, mostly competes over 5000 metres and 10,000 metres, but has run competitively from 1500 metres to the marathon.
