Al Sadd coach Xavi insists he's not thinking about an early move to Barcelona.

Xavi recently extended his contract with the Qatari club into next year and says he doesn't expect to be offered the Barca job ahead of next season.

He told El Pais: "I don't think it's for now, no. In January, I told them now was not the time, and now they haven't contacted me. As a culé, I wish them the best.

"I respect Quique Setién a lot, he has a game manual very similar to what Barca need, namely Cruyffismo, another thing is that the results come with it.

"I'm delighted to continue to gain experience, to challenge myself, and of course it would be a privilege for me to coach Barça one day, with a dream team, with Jordi Cruyff, Carles Puyol and a few current players.

"I would like to make a team with good people who know the house, people in whom I trust."
