Al Sadd coach Xavi admits he'd like to work in England.

Barcelona great Xavi rates Manchester City chief Pep Guardiola as the world's 'best coach'.

Xavi, 40, dreams of managing old club Barca but hailed the Premier League's 'atmosphere, packed stadiums' and players as an exciting alternative.

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."

The 133-cap icon said of his former Nou Camp chief: "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.

"He is a brilliant, demanding, passionate, obsessive person, that's why he's doing so well.

"It transmits a lot to the footballer. I learned a lot and enjoyed my time at his side."
