Juande Ramos has revealed he would be keen to manage in the Barclays Premier League again despite his failure at Tottenham.

The Spaniard left White Hart Lane last month after leading Spurs to their worst start to a league season, and has since seen his replacement, Harry Redknapp, revive the club's fortunes.

"Being in the Premier League was a dream come true, a fantasy I had since I started as a manager" - Juande Ramos

He said: "I would have liked to spend more time at the club, but I understand what has happened is the unwritten law of football.

"Being in the Premier League was a dream come true, a fantasy I had since I started as a manager. Given the right chance, I would love to be back."

Ramos' exit came just months after Spurs defeated Chelsea in the Carling Cup final, and the former Sevilla coach revealed he expected that trophy to be the first of many.

The former Sevilla boss added: "I am the first Spanish manager to win a title in the legendary Wembley, which is obviously the happiest moment of my life in England."

He also indicated he is seeking a swift return to management, and in particular feels he has unfinished business in Europe.

Ramos enjoyed a superb stint at the helm of Sevilla between 2005 and 2007, winning the Uefa Cup twice on the trot before leading the Spanish outfit into last season's Champions League prior to his ill-fated move to north London.
