Solano says he wants to make Peru return
 
LIMA, March 15 (Reuters) - Midfielder Nolberto Solano said he would be happy to return to the Peruvian national side under new coach Franco Navarro.

The 31-year-old Newcastle United player quit the team last year after a fallout with former coach Freddy Ternero, who Solano claimed had made him a scapegoat after the failure to qualify for the World Cup finals.

"I'm dying to wear the red and white shirt again, of course I'd like to," he told Peruvian radio.

Navarro became their third coach in less than a year when he was officially presented on Monday and said the door was open for both Solano and another stalwart, midfield playmaker Roberto Palacios, to make their returns.

"I wish Franco all the best," Solano added. "I know him well, but I don't agree with short-term projects. If the FPF (Peruvian federation) want to be coherent, they need to give him a long time.

"We can't go on the same way, I'm tired of the same old story."

Peru's last World Cup appearance was in Spain in 1982.
