Brazilian World Cup winner Roberto Carlos is keen on coaching an A-League side as a "marquee" manager according to his agent.
The Real Madrid legend's agent Ricardo Seyton told the Adelaide Advertiser he saw the A-League as somewhere that had experienced "big growth".
"Roberto Carlos' record speaks for itself as a player and he has had success in Turkey coaching Sivasspor which is a modest club by Turkish standards.
"He's a lover of football, he really has that passion deeply in-bedded and he can bring some of what has made Brazilian football popular in the world to Australia’s doorstep.
"I have been to Australia and studied the A-League and in particular the football markets in Adelaide and Melbourne where I have seen Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory.
"I have enjoyed the rawness of the competition and the enthusiasm of the people involved.
"The A-League is a very stable competition and with Australia growing the game steadily among young children he [Carlos] can add his expansive knowledge of the game."
Carlos currently plays for and manages Indian Super League club Delhi Dynamos but his deal ends in December.
The 42-year-old won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and helped Real Madrid to three Champions League titles and four La Liga titles.
