Legendary striker wants top job at the Riverside
Fabrizio Ravanelli has his eyes set on the vacant managerial position at Middlesbrough.
Gordon Strachan departed the Riverside on Monday with just 11 points from the first 12 games and with the club just one place above the bottom three in the Championship.
Now, the man nicknamed the 'White Feather' during his playing career, has admitted he would love to return to the club and bring back the glory days to the Riverside.
The former Boro striker starred for the Teessiders back in 1996-97 under former boss Bryan Robson in a team that included Brazilian duo Juninho and Emerson.
The former Italy striker, 41, who is working as a TV pundit in Italy, has thrown his hat into the ring along with host of big names including Tony Mowbray, Paul Ince and Gary Megson.
Dream
The ex-Juventus and Perugia star told
The Sun: "It is my dream to manage Middlesbrough and I'm determined to make it happen.
"I have very happy memories of the club and would love to return. Steve Gibson (chairman) is a great man and I spoke to him every day when I was a player.
"England is the place to manage because only there do the clubs invest a lot of time and energy in their managers.
"I have my licence to coach and have done all my badges.
"My target is definitely to manage a club like Boro. It would be great if my dream came true."
