Paolo Di Canio has revealed that he dreams of coaching a club in England in the future and admits former side West Ham would be an ideal destination.
The 40-year-old, who retired while at Italian side Cisco Roma in March, was a cult hero during his playing days with the Hammers and a return to Upton Park appeals.
But Di Canio - who took his coaching badges in the summer - recognises that he may be required to cut his teeth elsewhere before a move to England materialises.
"I took my badge just last summer because, of course, it is my target to become a coach somewhere in the future," Di Canio told Sky Sports News.
"My dream is to come back to England because this is pure and natural football with the passion and the atmosphere. It is unique in the world.
"But, of course, I must be open in my mind. What I would like to do in the future is coach in England.
"I have something special in my heart for West Ham, but I need to be open because I need to start somewhere.
"Once you start you can show your quality and can improve and try to do the best job you can in the future."
Di Canio also spent time with Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton during his playing days in Britain.
