McCarthy recently spoke about his future in a television interview, saying the idea of coaching an African powerhouse, or a club in MLS in America, would be appealing.
“What’s next for me?” McCarthy said during an interview on CNN Sports.
“I think, of course, it’s clear the fact that after leaving United, I think that passion for wanting to be a head coach again, that brewed through, and I think that is the next step for me.
“So, whether it’s to go back to Africa, the African continent, to manage one of the big teams, the important teams, with the knowledge that I’ve gained, I think, yeah, that would be amazing, to manage a team on the continent and then trying to make them also one of the powerhouses in African football.
“But also, to try and achieve, as to reach a final when you play in the Club World Cup.
“That would be the aim, to do that, or even the MLS interests me a lot. Opportunities like that, I would welcome, because I think I’ve got what it takes to manage there, to make players better and to help teams achieve goals that they’ve maybe not achieved in last few years with their clubs.
“It’s just about getting the opportunity.”
