Tony Adams says that Arsenal<\/a> are the only English club that he would consider joining after leaving his role with Azerbaijani side Gabala FC.<\/p>\n

The former England international is looking for a return to coaching after departing the Azerbaijan Premier League side in November and is targeting a return to Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoaching is what I love. But back in England? There is only one club I would want to go back to and be No.1 or even on the backroom staff \u2013 and that is Arsenal,\u201d he told Mirror Football.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Arsene Wenger wanted me to join in some capacity, that would interest me a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed my time as coach at Portsmouth when we won the FA Cup. Now what appeals is working in Scandinavia or Belgium or Holland. Or even at somewhere like Dinamo Zagreb. An established club not doing so well. That would appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old recently had a statue of himself unveiled by Arsenal outside of the Emirates as part of the club\u2019s 125-year celebrations and was understandably delighted.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI cannot tell you how good that makes me feel. I feel very humble, very proud to have something like that in my honour.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Englishman spent his entire playing career at Arsenal and had been managing Gabala FC in Azerbaijan for the past 18 months until his resignation.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIt was all getting too much. I was doing the whole lot from arranging to have the training pitches marked out to sorting out the showers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coaching that I love doing, well that was just one of a number of things. Then there was the three-hour drive to Gabala from Baku every day. My family love Baku but the drive was just taking too much out of me. I had to hand over the coaching responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
