Former Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro would love to return to the club.

Cannavaro is currently in charge of Tianjin Quanjian in China.

He told Marca: "It is my dream to coach Real Madrid. The Italian national team too.

"If one doesn't have these types of goals, it is better not to start coaching in the first place."

"When I retired as a player, I first went to Dubai to work as a sporting director," the ex-defender pointed out. "But in the end, football is football and I'm really enjoying myself now and am focused on improving my methodology."
