“I think I’ll spend a lot of time understanding that it’s really over now,” Nicklas Bendtner said in the program 'Bendtner & Philine' as quoted by The Guardian.
“Now I will find something else that gives me what football has given me in all the years. Football is a big part of my life and I cannot leave it.
“That is why I am in the process of taking the coaching education. I hope it will give me as much or maybe more than it did as a player. That way, I will always be a part of football.”
The 33-year-old spent nine seasons at Arsenal between 2005 and 2014, scoring 45 goals in 171 appearances.
The Dane also represented Birmingham, Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, Juventus, Wolfsburg, Rosenborg and FC Copenhagen.
Nicklas will be remembered as a wasted talent. He once admitted that he regrets not giving his all to football to enjoy a successful career.
