Roberto Carlos open to coaching in A-League

Real Madrid and Brazilian great Roberto Carlos said he would be interested in coaching in the A-League.

Regarded as one of the greatest left-backs in the history of football, 2002 World Cup winner Roberto Carlos has been without a coaching role since leaving Indian Super League outfit Delhi Dynamos in 2015.

While happy in his role as an ambassador for LaLiga giants and European champions Madrid, the 43-year-old – winner of four La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns during his illustrious playing career in the Spanish capital – is open to working in the A-League.

Asked about a move to Australia, Roberto Carlos told Omnisport: "Why not? Everything is possible in football and obviously it will be a new experience.

"At the moment I am learning here at Real Madrid but of course one day if there was the right opportunity I would certainly consider it.

"I would like to return to being a manager. Now as I am an ambassador for Real Madrid in Asia and Oceania and I am very happy with regards to working for my club.

"But obviously I do miss the day-to-day on the pitch and when I have my license I want to learn more about work on the pitch here at Real Madrid and then become a manager again."
