Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos interested in A-League move

Roberto Carlos is keen on coaching in Australia according to his representative.


The 42-year-old former Brazil international is currently player-coach with Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos but would one day like to step into a role with an A-League club.

Carlos, who starred for Spanish giants Real Madrid for over a decade, has had managerial experience in Turkey with Sivasspor but Richard Seyton says the World Cup winner now wants another challenge following his duties with Delhi in the 2015 ISL season .

"I have been to Australia and studied the A-League, and in particular the football markets in Adelaide and Melbourne where I have seen Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory," Seyton told News Corp.

"The A-League is a very stable competition and with Australia growing the game steadily among young children, [Carlos] can add his expansive knowledge of the game.

"Roberto Carlos's record speaks for itself as a player and he has had success in Turkey coaching Sivasspor, which is a modest club by Turkish standards.

"He's a lover of football, he really has that passion deeply embedded and he can bring some of what has made Brazilian football popular in the world to Australia's doorstep."
