Barcelona legend Iniesta: Xavi assistant? Nothing's impossible

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta won't rule out joining Xavi's staff in the future.

Currently playing in Japan with Vissel Kobe, Iniesta is back at La Masia this week to see his good friend.

He told Sport: "As Xavi's assistant? I think what we want is for the team to win, it doesn't matter if Xavi-Iniesta is there or whatever. No, let's see, I will not say that it is impossible but it is very difficult for times, moments and others.

"I just wish this Barça wins again, to be well, to find the good line that we all like. Regarding me in the future we will see what happens, I hope I can come back from something here."

Iniesta was also asked about captain Sergi Busquets' potential departure.

"I, apart from the fact that I am very far from here and I do not live day by day from what is said, I cannot say anything about Busi other than what is referent and what is still a player. He is not past, he is the captain of Barça, until now of the team," said Iniesta.

"Until the last day he will continue giving the level and being the example he is. There will come a day that he will have to go out, but that is the law of life."
