Speaking with Globo Esporte, Gilberto confirmed that he has had an invitation from the club to return, and that he would one day like to go into management.

"I have had an invitation, yes," he said. "Anything is possible, it makes me happy when you have these invitations, people see you with a different profile, you can contribute.

"It makes me happy and motivated, and it makes me want to learn from others, seek knowledge and develop my own style."
