Former AFL champion and radio star Brendan Fevola has teased fans about a massive career move.
The Carlton football club legend, 43, who currently co-hosts Fox’s Fifi, Fev and Nick Show, He says he really wants to return to football as a coach.
Fevola’s shock announcement came after spending a day training with Collingwood’s AFLW team.
“It makes me want to be a coach,” an emotional Fevola told his co-hosts Fifi Box and Nick Cody on Friday.
‘You wouldn’t understand how much I loved it.
Yesterday I was awake all day. I haven’t trained for any of the teams I’ve played for in the last 14 years, not once.
Fevola, who rose to prominence as top scorer for Carlton Football Club’s AFL premiership team in the early 2000s, said he was originally invited to attend the training session by Collingwood chief executive Craig Kelly.
The former football star explained that the invite was supposedly a “joking punishment” after Fevola went public with his prediction that Kelly would soon resign from Collingwood.

“I know Craig Kelly did it as punishment, but I loved it,” Fevola said during the segment.
Fevola has broadcast on Fox FM with Fifi Box since 2016.
It comes after Fevola recently revealed that she lost a whopping 14.5kg in just one month without doing any exercise.
Speaking to Australian Men’s Health last month, the radio host explained that after he ended his playing career, his health began to take a backseat.
“I haven’t been to the gym in 13 years,” Brendan told the publication.
The Carlton football club legend, 43, who currently co-hosts Fox’s Fifi, Fev and Nick, says he is looking forward to returning to football as a coach.
“After I retired, I just didn’t see the point because I had no reason to stay in shape.”
Brendan added that when he stopped training, the calories he was consuming kept “piling up.”
‘Eating as much as before was fine when I played football, because I burned a lot with exercise. But after I started not exercising as much, it all added up.”
After realizing he needed to make a lifestyle change, Brendan lost a formidable 30 kilograms in the last 12 months, including an impressive 14.5 kilograms in the last month following the ketogenic diet.
Brendan said the first few hours working in breakfast radio had made him eat more carbohydrate-rich foods.
“The breakfast hours I work mean I’m tired at the wrong times, and before I was just constantly eating carbs and not getting the good stuff to keep me awake,” he said.
“I don’t want to put all the blame on breakfast times, because you can still eat well at those times, but it all depends on the decisions you make.”
He overhauled his diet with a 30-day challenge from Keto Australia.
The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that aims to put the body into a state of ketosis where it burns fat for fuel, which helps induce weight loss.
