Xavi Hernández dreams to manage Barcelona
Al-Sadd boss and Barcelona legend Xavi Hernández has stated that coaching the Catalans is top in the list of his aspirations for the future.
In an interview with FIFA’s official website, the legendary former Barcelona midfielder who is currently in charge of the Al-Sadd team in Qatari stated that coaching the Blaugrana one day is a dream he hopes can come true.
However, Xavi expressed that he has huge respect for Ronald Koeman the present Barça boss.
“I am currently at Al-Sadd and I am happy here. I am at a really great Asian club and from here we will see what the future holds,” Xavi said in the first episode of “Living football” that was published by FIFA.
The 41-year-old further stated that he has been a fan of Barcelona all his life. “There are elections nowadays and we’ll see who will become president in a month. Without any doubt coaching Barcelona is a dream of mine,” he added.
“Qatar is ready to host any great event,” Xavi said as he laud the work being accomplished in Qatar ahead of hosting the 2022 World Cup.
He noted that the Asian country has shown complete readiness for organizing the huge event.
“Qatar is absolutely ready to host any big event,” he said. “The country is significantly developing. Since my arrival here in 2015, Qatar has improved a lot in terms of infrastructure”.
Xavi made his debut for Barcelona in 1998, spending a full 17 years in the Camp Nou first team before in 2015 joining Al-Sadd, where he spent four years ahead of being appointed as the team’s head coach.
