He disclosed this in an interview with Drive on talkSPORT ahead of the Soccer Aid 2024 charity match, saying he considered making a comeback after being approached with an enticing offer by Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden, who was the Chief Executive Officer of Puma at the time.
Although the idea of returning was an exciting offer, but he had to stay loyal to his coach Glen Mills, who was firmly against it.

“My coach told me, he said to me, ‘Listen, if you’re gonna retire, that’s it. I’m not gonna coach you again. This is it; there’s no coming back after this.
"So when I went to him, he was like, ‘No, absolutely not,” explained the 37-year-old whose 100m and 200m World Records still stands today.
