Barcelona Legend Xavi Says He'd Be Open to Managing in the Premier League

Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez has said that while his biggest ambition is to coach his former club, he would also be interested in managing in the Premier League.

Xavi left Barca for Qatari outfit Al Sadd in 2015. He retired from playing at the end of last season and took over as the club's head coach.

He told Sky Sports' Charlie Skinner that managing Barca would be the "greatest privilege," but he also added:

"That is my goal, but obviously, who doesn't like the Premier League? The football atmosphere, the packed stadiums and the people who play in the Premier League say it's extraordinary.
