Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes it is an inevitability that Xavi will one day coach Barcelona.
Guardiola made his name as a trainer at Camp Nou, where he took charge of the first team in 2008, marking the beginning of a golden era for the club that included a treble in his debut season.
