Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has revealed that he plans to move abroad in the next couple of years.

Keane spent the vast majority of his career at United, playing under their iconic manager Sir Alex Ferguson and winning countless major honours. Following his shock departure in 2005, the former midfielder spent time at Celtic after starting his professional career at Nottingham Forest.

After retiring from football in the summer of 2006, Keane spent time managing Sunderland and Ipswich Town. However, following his departure from Portman Road in January 2011, the now 53-year-old moved into punditry and continues to work for both for ITV and Sky Sports.

Keane has regularly appeared on The Overlap, and during their recent On Tour episode in Turin, the Old Trafford icon revealed to Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Gary Neville that he had his eyes on possibly moving to somewhere like Switzerland in the not too distant future.

“In the next couple of years, I reckon I will be moving abroad... putting it out there," he informed the trio.

Pushed on where he would move to by Carragher, Keane replied: “Do you know what, Switzerland, maybe? Switzerland is beautiful.”

Speaking back in August, Keane revealed his intention to quit punditry within the next 10 years.

"I love football, but the hassle of matches, getting to games, and the hassle of fans – I was in court a few months ago with somebody head-butting me – do you think I enjoy that side of it? Absolutely not," he said, speaking on the Stick to Football podcast brought to you by Sky Bet.

"The games are fine. Getting to the games, parking up, people shouting your name – good stuff, bad stuff – it’s a nuisance. Being a pundit in 10 years, not."
