Al Sadd coach Xavi admits he sees himself returning to Barcelona.

However, he has made clear that he would want to start afresh at the Camp Nou if he were to become head coach.

"I am clear that I want to return to Barcelona, I am very excited," Xavi said in an interview with La Vanguardia.

"Maybe years ago I could give myself some respect, but now that I have seen myself coaching I think I can bring things to the players.

"But I made it clear to them that I saw myself in a project that started from zero, and in which the decision making was mine."
