Sulley Muntari believes he can play on for at least six or seven more years because age has taught him how to be a more disciplined and measured footballer than he was 10 years ago.
The 32-year-old's contract with the struggling side expires at the end of the season in May having joined the club in January.
The midfielder joined Pescara in January on a free transfer on a six-month deal.
"I don't drink and I don't smoke, so I will play another six or seven years and then I will retire completely from football.
"I don't see myself as a Coach or director. I own two car dealerships, but do you know how I see myself? As a mechanic, with my hands dirty with oil!
"Right now, we are thinking about staying up but then my contract expires and I don't think I will stay at Pescara.
"My family is in Milan, my son is 18 months old and I want to see him every day."
