“I would like to try my hand at coaching at some stage, but I wouldn’t think immediately after I finish. I would like to spend a lot of time at home with family and see my child, or children, growing up.”

“I got it when I woke up in the morning, just saying that I had been offered and (asking) would I like to accept. I spoke to a few of the people closest to me. I didn’t have too long, but obviously you think about something like that because I do feel like it’s obviously a big honour, but with that comes maybe a little bit more responsibility. ”

Former Liverpool manager Brendon Rodgers also had kind things to say about Murray, “When he started everyone said he wasn’t strong enough. So what did he do? Changes his diet, gets stronger, devotes his life to it. It’s not the glitz and the glamour with Andy, it’s about being the best he can be.”
