Warnock ready to for new challenge

Outgoing Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock has announced his intention to return to management as soon as he possible.

Warnock, 58, said: "At a time when people are feeling exhausted, I am feeling replenished,"

"I have enjoyed the last 12 months, I feel Sheffield United have been a credit to the Premier League on and off the field.

"But Neil Warnock is full of it again and I am looking forward to one more chance of a challenge in my career.

"I am not sure where it is going to be, I can swear on my kids' life I have nothing lined up. I want to manage in the Premiership and I have a number of years left.

"This last 12 months has given me the appetite to get on now and it will be strange taking over another club somewhere else, but it is going to be great for me to start again with another club and try and get success as quickly as possible.

"I am relishing the challenge and it drives me on to be back in the Premiership in the near future."

He added: "It is about the right thing for Sheffield United and it would be nice to leave when the time was right,"

"Of course if Sunday had not happened then I would not have thought of leaving, but it has and we move on.

"I just feel that from Sheffield United where we were seven years ago, we have a fabulous complex and a new breed of supporter.

"The pride has come back into Bramall Lane and that is what Kevin (McCabe) and I set out to do.

"I think the club is geared towards success. I believe it is one of the best jobs going for a manager now and we have a great squad.

"I think we will be the favourites of the three who went down to come back up.

"Some lucky man is going to take this club over and the infrastructure is there and the progression will be straight away."
