Zenit St Petersburg coach Roberto Mancini admits he's open to a return to England.

The former Manchester City manager also insists he'd welcome a move to a club not immediately capable of challenging for trophies.

Mancini, who has been linked with West Ham and Crystal Palace, along with Arsenal, says: "I would like to experience other championships, but it is clear the Premier League is perhaps the most beautiful championship, I would go back but only to go to a team that has not won for a long time because going to those where you always win is less stimulating.

"That championship is nice because the players give everything both in the game and in training, the stadiums are always full and there is a large audience and great enthusiasm. Then around the Premier League it travels the world, I think the beauty is this global dimension."
