Primary goal is to coach Barcelona, says Xavi Hernandez

MADRID: Former Spain midfielder Xavi Hernandez, who is coaching Al-Sadd in Qatar, has said his main goal is to coach FC Barcelona where he won a clutch of trophies during his playing days. Xavi also said he was "fine" after testing positive for coronavirus. "I do not hide, and I have always said, that my primary goal, when it happens, is Barca. It's my home and would be a dream," said Xavi in an interview published Tuesday in the Madrid sports newspaper Marca. "But now I am focused on Al-Sadd, excited about the new season. When Barca comes, in the short or long term, it will come," he said. "Above all, we have to respect QuiqueSetien and I wish the team all the best," said Xavi. "Sometimes Barca plays very well, sometimes well, and sometimes not so well. But I like Setien's idea, now and with his previous teams: to dominate and to make a beautiful game." Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu has stressed that he is sticking with Setien. IANS
