Toni Kroos’ next chapter may be on the touchline. The Real Madrid legend is reportedly considering a move into first-team coaching, and has told the **RFEF** (Royal Spanish Football Federation) he wants to join its coaching course for professional footballers next season.

## What Has Been Reported

According to the report, Kroos would earn the UEFA “A” coaching licence through the course. It is the first big step toward a managerial career for a player who retired after Euro 2024.

## What the UEFA A Licence Allows

The UEFA A licence is one of the key levels in UEFA’s coaching pathway. It is required for first-team coaches in certain club categories and for age-group teams such as U-21 and U-19. It is also a step toward the top qualification, the UEFA Pro licence. So the licence opens many doors, but “any team at any level” overstates it.

## A Natural Fit?

Kroos was always known as the midfield brain of [Real Madrid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Madrid_CF). He won five Champions League titles there and the 2014 World Cup with Germany. Reports have also linked him with a future advisory role at Madrid, similar to the path Zinedine Zidane took.

Nothing is official yet, but the idea of Kroos in a tracksuit on the sideline is easy to picture.
