Barcelona legend Xavi: I’m finding it hard to quit playing

Although he has turned 38, the iconic midfielder still sees himself going on for at least another two years in the Qatar Stars League

Legendary midfielder Xavi is not ready to hang up his boots and take up a career as coach just yet.

The 38-year-old is synonymous as one of the maestros of Barcelona’s tiki-taka style of football during his career but departed Camp Nou in 2015 for Al-Sadd, where he continues to ply his trade.

Xavi, meanwhile, still has two years left on his playing contract at the Qatar Stars League side and can’t see himself quitting before that is up.
