Al Sadd coach Xavi admits he's open to working in England in the future.

Xavi is among the candidates to replace Quique Setien at Barcelona.

The ex-midfielder told Sky Sports: "Obviously if I had to choose, I would choose a big team, City or United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham.

"Also, [Jurgen] Klopp and [Mauricio] Pochettino and Unai Emery, many people who have gone there are doing an extraordinary job."

Xavi was also highly complimentary of his former coach and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

He said: "Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world and I am a novice.

"The comparison happened as a player but now we can't be compared. I am in love with Pep Guardiola's football.

"You can win playing football in different ways but I like the one of City and Guardiola the most. I follow the Premier League a lot and I like it."
