Guangzhou Evergrande coach Fabio Cannavaro admits a return to Real Madrid is an ambition.

However, Cannavaro accepts he needs to prove himself elsewhere before being considered for the job.

He said, "Of course I'd like to come back, that's what I'm working towards. My career as a player can help me in that respect but first I have to do well as a coach to get there.

"I have my staff and my system. I'm used to running a club, not just performing the role of a coach. I asked my president to build a training complex and it's beautiful. I have also helped with the new stadium and it'll be ready in three years. I've shown them everything from how to cut the grass to sorting out the dressing rooms."
