Departing Hyypia may return to Anfield as future coach

SAMI HYYPIA has revealed a desire for regular first-team football was behind his decision to leave Liverpool after 10 years – but he has not ruled out a return to Anfield in a coaching capacity.

The veteran defender will join German club Bayer Leverkusen on a two-year deal when his current contract expires in the summer.

And the Finland star has revealed he did not want boss Rafael Benitez to make promises he could not be sure of keeping over the amount of games he would be able to play next season.
