Former Arsenal boss Unai Emery has refused to rule out a return to the Premier League.
Emery was relieved of his duties at the Emirates in November after a dismal run of form, culminating in a shock defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League.
He was linked with an immediate comeback to the English top flight with Everton, being interviewed for the Goodison role before Carlo Ancelotti took the reins.
Despite his struggles in north London, Emery insists he would be willing to have another crack at the Premier League, but admits his most likely route back into the dugout is in Spain.
“I am open to coaching," he told Eurosport’s ‘Confinados’ programme. “In Spain, in England, in Italy, in France, elsewhere… but if you ask me where I think I will be, I think I will be closer to the Spanish league.
“After four years if I have a good chance to return to Spain and I feel like it, I want to face it.
“The first objective is to return next season, but if I can’t find anything that fits what I hope for or reaches my heart, I will wait.
“Everton was interested in me and I thought about it. I didn’t say no, we also had a three-hour interview.”
Emery made history by winning three successive Europa League crowns with Sevilla between 2014 and 2016.
He then became manager of Paris Saint-Germain where he won the French title and four domestic cups.
But he failed to replicate those successes at Arsenal, losing to Chelsea in the final of the 2018-19 Europa League which denied the Gunners a spot at Europe's top table.
