Despite retiring, Hazard reportedly received offers from six different clubs to continue playing. West Ham is believed to have offered him a trial, with coach Kevin Nolan expressing his admiration for the former Real Madrid star. Nolan stated, “I’d have the Hazard of Chelsea at West Ham, yeah. I’m sure if he wanted to come and trial we’d, I mean, I’d certainly be willing to. I don’t know about the gaffer [David Moyes]. But I’d certainly want to trial him!”
While Hazard may not pursue a career in management, he is set to return to the pitch soon for the Varietes Club de France charity match on October 18 at the Stade de L’Epopee in Calais.
