David Warner reveals he wants to coach Australia

But admits it might be a while before he can takeover

David Warner has revealed his ambition to coach Australia one day, but admits it might be a while before he can take over from Justin Langer.

The 35-year-old opener is one of the most experienced players in the Australian team, and has captained the side in both Test and ODI cricket.

He has also been a vocal critic of Langer's coaching style, and has been linked with a move to the head coach role in the past.

However, Warner admits that he is not yet ready to take on the top job, and that he needs to gain more experience before he can be considered for the role.

"I think I've got a lot to learn before I can be a coach," Warner said.

"I've got to learn a lot more about the game, and I need to learn a lot more about how to manage people.

"I think I've got a long way to go before I'm ready to be a coach, but it's definitely something that I'm interested in doing in the future."

Warner's comments come as Langer's future as Australia coach remains uncertain.

Langer's contract expires in June, and there has been speculation that he could be replaced by Andrew McDonald or Ricky Ponting.

However, Warner believes that Langer has done a good job as coach, and that he deserves to stay in the role.

"I think Justin's done a great job," Warner said.

"He's a good coach, he's a good man, and he's got the team playing well.

"I think he deserves to stay in the role, and I think he's the right man to lead us to the next World Cup."
