Dennis Bergkamp has revealed he would like to return to Arsenal in a coaching role.
The former Netherlands international brought the curtain down on a hugely successful 11-year stint in north London when he called time on his playing career in 2006.
Bergkamp rejected the chance of a scouting position at Arsenal following his retirement, but after two years as an assistant to Frank de Boer at Ajax, he says he is now open a return.
"The feeling Johan Cruyff has had for Barcelona, I have the same with Arsenal," the 44-year-old Dutchman told The Telegraph.
"At Arsenal it was a good click. I always enjoyed it. I never had a bad day there. It is always on my mind. It is part of my ambition to come back at some stage.
"I can’t really plan ahead. I know I will be here [at Ajax] for at least another three or five years and then I don’t know. I don’t see myself being at Ajax for the rest of my coaching career. I don’t see myself as a manager.
"I see myself as being part of the coaching staff. I really enjoy that role, especially the individual training with the strikers.
