Warnock ended his seven-and-a-half-year reign at Sheffield United within three days of the club's controversial relegation from the Barclays Premier League in May.

Hunting for a club: Neil Warnock has had enough of retirement... after a month

However, having originally planned to call it a day at 55, he is now keen to return to the fray and test himself once again.

He told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek show: "It's funny really, two years ago, I thought, 'Right, I am going to pack in at 55', and then certain things happened at particular times in my life and just made me want to carry on managing.

"I have enjoyed it that much and I just think there is another club and probably another chairman, another group of fans, who would be interested in me taking over and doing well with them."

Warnock spent the last year of his time at Bramall Lane engaged in an ultimately unsuccessful battle to re-establish the club in English football's top flight.

However, he admits he will consider any interesting proposition to resume his career.

He said: "It just has to be the challenge, it has to be the right club, it has to be a club that's got a chance.

"There have got to be decent crowds at the club and a chairman who gives you a chance.

"I am open to anything, really. I have never really turned anything down.

"I have been in non-league in the past and the Premier League. It is just a great game and I love managing."

Warnock's outspoken and sometimes abrasive management style may not make him the ideal candidate for some chairmen, but he insists he will not change.

He said: "I think that's been the case all the way through my career, really.

"You can't all be bland. It's nice if you keep quiet a lot of the time, but journalists, even the ones who don't like me, they have made a living at times and made some good articles whether they like me, love me or loathe me."
