Benito Carbone has indicated that he would love to be given the opportunity to one day coach Sydney FC.
The 42-year old former striker had a short spell with the Sky Blues as a guest player in 2006, scoring two goals in three matches, and is hoping that he can return to the A-League club at one point in his life.
The former Inter Mila, Napoli, Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City and Aston Villa forward told SBS that it is a goal of his to come back to Sydney which he rates as one of his favourite cities in the world.
"I dream that one day I will become Sydney FC's manager in the A-League," he said.
"I simply love Sydney which, along with New York, is my favourite city in the world.
"The lifestyle is fantastic and I would be great to get an opportunity to return one day.
"Sydney FC also is a big, big club and it is to Australia what Juventus is to Italy."
Carbone, who recently managed Italian amateur side Saint-Christophe, added: "I have no doubt that my stay in Sydney was one of the best periods in my life but unfortunately it was too short.
"I will always recommend Sydney and the A-League to any of my friends.
"I really mean that and, who knows, one day my dream might come true."
