London: Former England star Andrew Flintoff has said that he would definitely like to coach the national side one day.

England coach Trevor Bayliss is set to step down from Three Lions coach after the Ashes series.

Flintoff said, "Coaching is definitely ambition."

"There are probably two or three coaching jobs I'd like - England, Lancashire or Lancashire Academy. I'd love to be England coach one day, just not quite yet," he added.

"A few years ago I applied for the England coaching job - we were getting beat, I was in the office and thought, 'I'm going to apply'," Flintoff said.

"I wrote an email for the interview, a month passed and I'd heard nothing. I chased it up, then I got a phone call saying they thought it was somebody taking the mick," he concluded.

The 41-year-old, who retired from international cricket in 2009, played 79 Tests, 141 ODIs and seven T20s for England and was part of Ashes-winning sides in 2005 and 2009.
