Matthew Johns, the former footy star turned footy analyst, has dropped a bombshell by revealing that he's been approached by a third party on behalf of an NRL club about potentially taking on a coaching gig.
The news, first reported by zerotackle.com, has sent shockwaves through the rugby league community.
Known for his sharp footy intellect and keen eye for the game, Johns has long been tipped as a potential head honcho on the sidelines.
He's dabbled in coaching before, offering his expertise as a consultant for various clubs and even the NSW State of Origin team.
Currently flexing his footy knowledge at Fox Sports, Johns's contract is set to wrap up at the end of the year.
While there's no guarantee he'll stick around, it seems like he's keeping his options open.
In a classic Johns fashion, he cheekily mentioned that he'd be willing to consider coaching if a club is willing to meet his price tag - after all, he knows his worth.
Could we see the footy legend make a return to the field, this time as a master tactician calling the shots? Only time will tell, but the prospect of Johns prowling the sidelines is enough to get footy fans buzzing with excitement.
Watch this space, because the footy world might be in for a Johns masterclass in coaching if the stars align.
