Parma star targets future coaching role

Crespo has 12 months left on his current contract with Parma.

“I don’t exactly know what my future may offer,” declared the hitman. “What is certain is that I wish to stay close to the world of football.

“I am very open to the idea of a future as a coach, but I wouldn’t mind working as part of a group of backroom staff.

“I completed the UEFA B course while I was still at Inter and I am qualified to coach in Serie D or in the youth leagues.

“Nevertheless, these are still early days and now my focus is on the field ahead of next season with Parma.”
