While his Australian teammate Harry Kewell is struggling to find form in the national competition, the Everton midfielder believes he is of more value to the sport by running his specialty coaching clinics than playing in the home-grown competition.
“I get asked that question a lot about the A-League and this is where I come back to my coaching clinics,” said Cahill.
“I feel I give a lot more working grassroots level than coming back and trying to be commercial.
“Not that I don’t want to fill stadiums and not that I don’t want to help the league.
"But I really feel its important to concentrate on what’s important and do enough commercially in Australia with my sponsors.”
Cahill says his website includes a promotion to give four kids the opportunity of a life time to join Cahill in Everton.
Children aged five to 15 can join his upcoming clinics on his website timcahill.com where they will be privy to his training tips and exclusive videos.
Cahill will then select four kids, one from each of his upcoming parents for an all expenses paid trip with a guardian to talk training and diet.
“The interaction is going to get me closer to the kids,” he explained.
“That’s the things I can do now as I get older and more experienced.
“I get to sit down with people and figure out strategies how I help Australia and this is where I come back to the A-League.
“Yes I’d love to come back and fill stadiums but I feel kids can see, touch and interact with me.”
Serie A side Juventus are believed to be launching a double swoop on Cahill and Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill.
While Cahill refused to give a black and white answer as to whether there was any truth to the rumour, he said should anything come of it, it will be up to Everton to address.
“I just concentrate on football,” Cahill told 2KY.
“I let everyone else read about it and if there is any truth to it, the club deals with it.”
Unable to take part in the Socceroos World Cup qualifiers, Cahill has been watching with interest although he admits being a spectator has not come easy.
“For me it's one of my biggest passions - playing for my country,” he said.
“It’s hard to watch, but it looks like we’ve got enough depth.”
