Bayer Leverkusen boss Rudi Voeller believes that Michael Ballack "has the capability" to become a coach.
The 35-year-old has been without a club since leaving Leverkusen at the end of last season, but Voeller insists that the former German skipper should take his coaching badges.
"He has the capability and intelligence to be a coach," he told Bild.
Ballack made 98 appearances for Germany.
