The Sunderland-born singer, though, says she is open to offers and that she now wants to assist create the next stars
She said: “It’s been my whole life since the age of five. Every weekend I’ve had a football match, so I don’t think it’d be possible for me to move away from that.
“I am hoping I can get involved in some coaching with the younger age groups and the younger girls in England — that’s kind of trying to do a shout out for a job there!
“But I don’t plan in advance, so that is down to me really.”
Scott amassed 161 caps for her country having made her debut in 2006, ranking her second on the Lionesses’ all-time appearance list.
