Former Premier League star Samuel Eto’o is considering a return to England – as a manager.
A close advisor has revealed the former Barcelona and Inter Milan playmaker plans to go into coaching after ending his playing career in the United States.
Eto’o, 36, currently plays for Turkish club Antalyaspor.
A close associate Gardi said that Eto’o’s dream would be to manage former club Inter.
However the three-time Champions League winner would equally relish the chance to boss a Premier League side.

"I don't rule out the possibility of him renewing his contract for another season.
"Then he aims to finish his career in Major League Soccer.
"But once he has hung up his boots, he wants to become a coach.
"It is his desire to manage Inter Milan someday."
