Middlesbrough hero Fabrizio Ravanelli says returning to manage the Premier League club would be a 'dream'

Former Middlesbrough striker Fabrizio Ravanelli says it is his 'dream' to return to the Premier League club as manager.

Now 48, Ravanelli was Boro's star signing for the 1996-97 season and the 'White Feather' made an immediate impact with a hat-trick against Liverpool on his debut.

He went on to leave for Marseille when Middlesbrough were relegated at the end of the season but had endeared himself to fans with 31 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions.
