San Antonio Spurs Rumors: Manu Ginobili's Final Two-Years Of His Contract Likely His Last, Discusses The Chances He Returns To Sidelines As A Head Coach

San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is virtually certain that his recent two-year $14 million contract extension he signed earlier this month will be the last contract he signs in his career.

The two-time NBA All-Star, who turned 36 years-old on Sunday, also said he doesn't have aspirations to follow in the footsteps of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.

"I don't see myself coaching" Ginobili said this week from a gym in Buenos Aires where he spent a recent morning instructing 40 of the best young players from Latin America as a participant in the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program. "I love the game and think I have a lot to contribute. I could see myself in a role like (Steve Nash) but I just don't see myself full-time coaching."

Nash  is a native of Canada and has become general manager of Canada's senior men's national team in 2012.

Ginobili can possibly do the same for his native Argentina, where he represented the nation in three FIBA World Championships and three Olympics bringing home the 2004 Olympic gold medal. His on-court work this past week with Argentina and Brazil is something that has more appeal to him than coaching.

"It was great fun working out with them and sharing experiences and having a good time" he said. "I've really been enjoying my time with them and all the kids we work with in Basketball Without Borders."
