Juventus hero Nedved set for playing comeback at Cannes

Juventus hero Pavel Nedved is considering a playing comeback.

L'Equipe says Nedved could be on the verge of a comeback with French Third Division side Cannes.

The 37-year-old Czech, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2003, retired as a professional footballer last summer and has been courted by Juventus either as an assistant to Ciro Ferrara or even as a director.

Cannes have made Nedved a lucrative offer to join their club, which recently added Sylvain Wiltord and Jan Koller to its ranks.
