MILAN, Jan. 8 (XInhua) -- AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi said on Tuesday that he is keen to bring Pep Guardiola to the San Siro though the chances are very low.

Guardiola resigned from Barcelona managerial post in the summer after winning two Champions Leagues and three league titles in a four year spell in charge at the Camp Nou, then went into a year-long sabbatical. The 41-year-old announced on Monday night that he is willing to make a return to coaching.

Among the speculations over Guardiola's next destination, Berlusconi hinted he hoped the Spaniard to take over from Massimiliano Allegri.

"I always tried to bring (Guardiola) to Milan, because over the last (few) years Barcelona played the best football. We contacted him, but he said he wanted to stay in a sabbatical," said Berlusconi.

"He said that at Milan he'd have fun and felt admiration towards me, and appreciation for the Lake Como, where I could offer a beautiful villa. At this moment, I have to say the percentage for him to come to Milan is very low."
