Alongside his international teammate and friend, Alexandre Lacazette, Samuel Umtiti gave an interview to 'Team Orange Football' in which he talked about his current plans as well as what he would like to do in the future.
When the time comes to hang up his boots, Umtiti wants to remain in the sport. "I'd like to be a coach. I take notes from those I've worked under, their training sessions and what they do."
Likewise Umtiti isn't ruling out a return to his native France and, in particular, his former club Lyon. "Returning to Lyon is a possibility, as a player or as a coach," admitted the centre back who played for them from 2011 until 2016.
Umtiti joked about his French teammates Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann. He said the former "wasn't at the right level, he's only mature when he draws" and on Griezmann his light-hearted criticism was related to how he looked.
"I don't like Griezmann's haircut at all and I tell him he needs to cut it every morning. But he always says that it's a work in progress," admitted Umtiti. "He also says he's really good at basketball and he's good but he isn't as good as he says he is."
