Pro Football Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Peyton Manning would like to give football coaching a shot if the opportunity presents itself at the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Following his playing career, many wondered if Peyton Manning would go into coaching, and for good reason. Renowned for his ability to read the defense and make the necessary adjustments at the line of scrimmage, the five-time league MVP had a special mind and football IQ that few others could match.
While Manning hasn’t expressed any interest in becoming an NFL or NCAA coach, the 48-year-old admits that there’s one prominent football coaching gig on his mind.
During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Manning said that he would love the opportunity to coach the United States flag football team at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.
"Flag Football is coming to the Olympics in 2028 and I'd like to be a coach on that team"

The 2028 games will mark the first Olympics with flag football. Though the union has expressed a desire to participate in the Olympics, it has yet to be determined if NFL players will be permitted to play.
And maybe, just maybe, Peyton Manning will get into football coaching.
