Dennis Wise plotting return to football

Former Chelsea midfielder Dennis Wise has revealed that he is ready to return to football as a manager.

Wise has not managed a club since leaving Leeds United in 2008 to become an executive director at Newcastle United, a job from which he was sacked in April 2009.

The former England international said: "I spent a bit of time out of it - I needed to, especially after the things that happened at Newcastle. I took a step back.

"I really enjoyed the managerial side of the game.

"If something that I liked came up I would have a go, I really would."

Wise also had spells in charge at Millwall and Swindon Town.
