Xavi gives update on his coaching plans

Barcelona legend Xavi revealed that he is ready to get his UEFA pro license next year. The license would give him the ability to coach most teams he would want to, including Barcelona.

This has excited some Barcelona fans, hoping that the next Pep Guardiola is on their hands, but Xavi cautioned patience.

“Now I can coach in small countries, but next year, in May, I hope to get the UEFA Pro license to be able to coach any team,” he told TV3.

“As a player, it was the same, people expect things from me prematurely, like when I was said to be the ‘new Guardiola’ and I still don’t see it.
