Vissel Kobe midfielder Andres Iniesta admits he'd like to return to Barcelona.

Iniesta has seen former teammate Xavi be appointed new coach of Barca this past week.

The veteran told Cataluyna Radio: "I would like to come back to Barça in the future.

"I do not know in what form. I would like to help in a way other than playing."

Iniesta is continuing to play in the J-League this season with Vissel Kobe.
