But we're talking about transitioning him from a #1 to a #2, with potential extra coaching responsibilities (we don't have a GK coach remember).
The 'go back to France' thing is maybe lazy. I know he's talked about the romance of finishing his career with Nice. But also remember he's been here for 11 years, so none of his children have ever lived there (London is France's 6th biggest city after all).
Im not sure its lazy when he has spoken about it and its being compared with the idea he might be willing to sit on the bench and remain as a coach. He won't stay to be a number 2, he will eek out the last year or two playing as a number 1 at a club that can afford him that luxury and lets be fair, regardless of what people think of him, he has earned that right
Most players that move into coaching straight away from playing do so when they might need the finances, usually lower level that happens, for players of Lloris level they generally take a break and get their head round their career.
