Four years after leaving the track, Asafa Powell is stepping back into the sport, this time from the sidelines.

The former 100m world record holder has announced he is now accepting coaching enquiries worldwide, offering his services as a high performance consultant through Doyle Management.

Powell, whose personal best of 9.72 remains one of the fastest times in history, holds the Guinness World Record for the most sub-10 second 100m races, with 97.

He is also an Olympic and World Championship medallist.

Powell told TVJ that he is ready to pass on what he learned over two decades at the top.
