Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez has expressed his desire on returning in management role, this time he wants to coach a team from English Premier League.
After being out of managerial role for one season, Xavi Hernandez believes that this is the best time for him to find another team to show his capability.
The former World Cup winner has been out of the coaching game since but has revealed his ambition to return to the hot seat, with the Premier League a dream destination.
“Of course? Where, I don’t know,” the Spaniard told The Athletic when quizzed about a return to management. “There’s no hurry for me, but I’d like a good project. Like, ‘You have four years to work and make a project’. I’d love to work in the Premier League because I love the passion there. In Spain, it’s too much about the result.
“Or a national team, that would appeal. When I dreamed about being a coach, I dreamed about being in a World Cup or European Championship.”
Xavi, who does speak English, could be a name under consideration throughout the Premier League this summer. Tottenham Hotspur could part ways with Ange Postecoglou and open the door for the Barcelona icon, while the futures of Enzo Maresca at Chelsea and Ruben Amorim at Manchester United are not certain.
Xavi has managed Barcelona before they sacked him over struggles on competing trophies with their nemesis, Real Madrid.
After almost a year, the former Barcelona coach wants to make his dream true in England where the competition is too high.
