Eto'o, 36, currently plays for Turkish club Antalyaspor.

A close advisor has revealed the former Barcelona and Inter Milan ace plans to go into coaching after ending his playing career in the United States.

George Gardi said Eto'o's dream would be to manage former club Inter.

However the three-time Champions League winner would equally relish the chance to boss a Premier League side.

Gardi, the right-hand man of Antalyaspor president Ali Safak Ozturk, lifted the lid on Eto'o's plans.

Gardi said: "Samuel Eto'o has had two great seasons in Turkey, scoring 40 goals.

"I don't rule out the possibility of him renewing his contract for another season.

"Then he aims to finish his career in Major League Soccer.

"But once he has hung up his boots, he wants to become a coach.

"It is his desire to manage Inter Milan some day."
