Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has expressed an interest in one day becoming the Italian national Coach.
Although the tactician intends to see out his contract which expires in 2007, he is thinking about his long term future.
"I still have the same stimulus inside of me which I have always had," Ancelotti told Studio Sport on Thursday.
"I have a lot of objectives to achieve, many of them at the highest level in an environment which I am happy in.
"My target is to carry on with this club but then take on another challenge when I do leave Milan.
"The Italian national team? I would like that a lot."
The San Siro giants recently rubbished claims that Ancelotti would be heading for the exit at the end of this season.
Chief Adriano Galliani publicly declared that the club legend would remain for at least another two seasons.
However, there is now the possibility that he could leave sooner if the Azzurri post became vacant next year.
Current Nazionale boss Marcello Lippi is only tied to the Federation until the summer of 2006.
Should Lippi’s Italy flop at the German World Cup Finals then Ancelotti would certainly be in the frame to take over.
Meanwhile, the former midfielder is confident that Milan’s sluggish start to the campaign has been forgotten.
"After a difficult start the side has begun to mirror last term’s performances," Ancelotti added.
"I’m very optimistic. Some important players are finding their form again, while others like Christian Vieri and Alberto Gilardino are on the right path."
Both players scored for Italy in last night’s 2-1 win over Moldova at Lecce.
