RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has hinted at a major career change and could even juggle TWO jobs when he retires from snooker.
The Rocket is regarded as the greatest of all time after a stellar career on the table.
O’Sullivan has a record 23 Triple Crowns, which includes eight Masters and eight UK Championships.
And he also has the joint-most World Snooker wins with Stephen Hendry, with both on seven.
However, Ronnie has hinted several times at retirement this year after coming up short in a few tournaments.
O’Sullivan has even withdrawn from this weekend’s Wuhan Open following last month’s “embarrassing” English Open exit.
And it appears he already has one eye on a new future job.
Speaking to Virgin Radio, the Rocket admitted he’s love to become a RUNNING coach.
O’Sullivan is a member of Woodford Green Running Club in Essex.
And he wants to get a coaching badge before taking up a role with his running team.

O’Sullivan said: “It’s the best thing, I love it at the running club.
“When I finish playing I think I’ll probably get a coaching badge and try to help out the club with all types of runners.

“Whenever I’ve got the time, whenever I finish playing snooker.”
However, the Rocket admits he would also consider taking a second job by helping budding snooker stars to reach the top.
He added: “I’d like to help a player, I’d love to help a player because there’s load of times in my career that I’ve got to help and it’s transformed my career.
“If I could maybe help another player develop, I think a lot of it is improving your weaknesses.
“A lot of people think they can just pot and break-build, there’s another side to the game you need to develop.
“Also the mental side of it as well. When you’re mentally strong it’s such a tremendous asset to have as a sportsman.”
