Time to track the trawler again, because Eric Cantona has tossed a rather fat fish to the seagulls: a declaration that he intends to become the manager of either Manchester United or England.

海鸥又要追着渔船了，因为坎通纳向着海鸥们扔出了一条大鱼：他宣布自己有意成为曼联或英格兰队的经理。

Since hanging up his boots in 1997, Cantona has played many roles including a slightly wooden actor, a decent photographer and, at present, the manager of France's beach soccer team. Today, however, he told Le Parisien that soon, perhaps after next month's beach soccer World Cup, he will pursue yet another vocation.

自从1997年挂靴之后，坎通纳做了很多事情，还当过演员和摄影师。现在则是法国沙滩足球队主帅。现在他告诉Le Parisien，最快在下个月的沙滩足球世界杯之后他机会转行。

"I will return to 11-a-side football just to become the best manager in the world - and that's exactly what I'll become," trumpeted the man whom Manchester United fans still call King. "I will do the job as a creator and an artist. I want to give football something new."

“我会回到11人足球中，要成为世界上最好的经理，我会的，”这个人被曼联球迷称为国王。“我可以当个艺术家什么的。我希望带给足球些新东西。”

Asked where he foresaw this dream unfolding, Cantona ruled out his native France, saying, "Ligue 1 is miserable. It should be banned! We don't have the best players in the world but most of all the managers are a pain in the ass … they shouldn't be allowed to advocate such a cautious way of playing."

被问到他希望在哪里开始新的职业生涯，坎通纳排除了法国，他说。“法甲不怎么样。停办算了！我们没有世界最好的球员，但大部分经理都谨小慎微……他们不应该这样打比赛。”

Cantona does not aspire to lead his country, even though he claimed he would do a much better job than either the current incumbent, Raymond Domenech, or the rumoured heir, Didier Deschamps. "Obviously I would be the ideal person to manage France," he quipped. "I would be able to put in place a more attractive style. Deschamps would be just a continuation of Domenech. But I don't want the job and I certainly won't be offered it."

坎通纳不打算带领法国队，即便他说自己会比现在的多米尼克或者德尚做的好得多。“显然我是法国主帅的理想人选，”他说。“我更喜欢去有吸引力的地方。德尚仅仅会是多米尼克的延续。但我不想干这个，我也不会寻求这个工作。”

Cantona said his preferred place of employment would be Old Trafford or Soho Square. "English football flows through my veins and I would love to offer my vision to the English because it is a very beautiful vision."

坎通纳说自己最喜欢的是曼联经理或者英格兰主帅的位置。“英格兰足球已经在我的血液里了，我想去英格兰，因为那里的足球很壮观。”
