Xavi: I'd like to return to Barcelona... maybe as a coach

Xavi Hernandez conducted an extensive interview with Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy. The former Barcelona midfielder, now playing for Al Sadd, is also learning how to coach, at the Aspire Academy.

He confirmed that he would like to return to Barcelona one day and even hinted that he might end up coaching his former side. 

Xavi said: "I like the pitch, being close to the actual football, what happens in the game itself. I'm going to learn the trade – I've already started my education here at the Aspire Academy. "I'm following Spanish football from over here while I'm still playing, and I'm really enjoying myself. 

"After that, I don't know what the future will hold for me, but of course I'd like to return to Barça one day. That's my aim and the closer it is to the pitch, the better."
