Fabrizio Ravanelli has revealed that it is his dream to become the next manager of Middlesbrough.
The Italian became a cult hero at the Riverside Stadium during his 14-month stay at the club which started in 1996, scoring 17 goals in 35 league games as well as helping the team to the finals of the FA Cup and League Cup.
Almost 20 years on from his exit, the former striker has said that he would like to take his place in the dugout if Boro and current head coach Aitor Karanka ever part ways.
The 48-year-old told Sky Sports News: "One day, it is my dream to come back to Middlesbrough for management.
"It is my dream. Karanka is a fantastic manager but one day, I don't know when, Karanka leaves Middlesbrough. Steve Gibson - call me!"
Ravanelli's only previous experience of management is a short spell at French side AC Ajaccio in 2013.
