Dennis Bergkamp has taken a step towards returning to Arsenal by gaining his coaching badges in Holland.
The former hot shot, who spent 11 glorious years in north London after signing from Inter Milan in 1995, has made no secret of his desire to train the Gunners' strikers.
And Arsene Wenger left the door open for a future link-up recently when he tipped Bergkamp to be a 'very good coach'.
Bergkamp completed his course with the Dutch FA alongside former international team-mates Phillip Cocu, Patrick Kluivert and Michael Reiziger.
'I wouldn't rule out (working for Arsenal),' the 40-year-old said last year. 'I really love this club and the country and I love working here.
'I would advise everyone to work in England, as a player or a coach, it just breathes football. It is fantastic for the game.
'I want to work and train a team in England. Not as a head coach but instead as a member of staff, where I could work specifically with the strikers.
'Being a coach means you have to work 24 hours a day and that does not suit me. You have to watch matches at home, travel to see other teams, prepare training - it is something that I am not ready to do.'
