Fabrice Muamba is 'excited' at the prospect of returning to Bolton Wanderers to coach in the club's academy after the move this summer has become official, he revealed.
The 34-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at White Hart Lane during an FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur while playing for Wanderers. Muamba dropped to the ground after his heart stopped on March 17, 2012. It took medics an excruciating 78 minutes to resuscitate the then-23-year-old.
Muamba came through the youth team ranks at Arsenal before moving on to Birmingham City and later to Bolton, for whom he played 148 times and scored four goals. Following his recovery from the cardiac arrest, Muamba announced his retirement from football in August 2012.
