Barcelona legend Xavi has revealed his intention to retire from football at the end of the season.
And the World Cup winner, who joined Qatari side Al Sadd in 2015, is plotting an immediate transition into coaching.
The 37-year-old has enjoyed an incredible career since breaking through as a teenager at Barca, where he won La Liga eight times and the Champions League on four occasions.
He also earned 133 caps for Spain between 2000 and 2014, winning the European Championship in 2008 - at which he was named player of the tournament - and the World Cup in 2010.
