Russia coach Guus Hiddink has said he would like to coach in the Premier League again after his temporary spell at Chelsea last season.
Hiddink was quoted in British daily The Guardian as saying he missed England and wanted to return.
The 62-year-old Dutchman said he planned to take a break after next year's World Cup but would like another chance in England in the future.
"I had a wonderful time in England and before I worked for Chelsea I was often watching the Premier League," said Hiddink, who spent four months at the London club last season, steering them to victory in the FA Cup final over Everton in May.
"I love to be in England to smell the atmosphere. So, missing it? Of course, I am missing it."
Asked if it meant he had the appetite for a second stint in the English top flight, he replied: "Of course. England is very attractive.
"It's unique in that the level of competition is high. But I have to make a judgment whether I stop for a few months, or half a year or a year, or do something different within football."
