Roy Hodgson is happy to be back in charge of Crystal Palace - at 75.
Hodgson already holds the record as the Premier League's oldest manager after his time at Watford last year.
He will take charge of Palace against Leicester on Saturday after replacing Patrick Vieira. Hodgson has signed to the end of the season.
"I know my birth certificate tells me I am [old enough to retire] but the way I feel doesn't tell me that," he said.
"I had accepted that I had retired because that is what everyone has been saying.
"If I walked down the street, people would say to me 'are you enjoying your retirement?' but at the same time, I have never felt old enough to retire.
"There has always been an opening there for a project such as this one."
