Xavi: Barcelona manager job would be 'spectacular' but no agreement yet

A Barcelona delegation has travelled to Qatar to finalize an agreement for Al Sadd coach Xavi Hernandez to take over at Camp Nou.

Xavi said on Wednesday after coaching his team to a 3-3 draw against Al-Duhail that a return to Barcelona was "common sense" as negotiations continue.

"It's a question of common sense and in the end it has to happen. I am excited. I'm really looking forward to returning home. I hope it happens. It would be spectacular to coach Barca," Xavi said. "The two clubs are in conversations. I can't say a lot more but I'm a positive person.
