Shenzen FC coach Jordi Cruyff has stayed tightlipped over talk of a return to Barcelona.

The former Barca striker is being linked with a role in the front office of new president Joan Laporta.

"We will see. Now I am very focused on my work in China," said Jordi.

He also praised coach Ronald Koeman's work at Barca this season.

Jordi continued: “He has a lot of merit and not only for football.

"He has come to the club at a difficult time with regard to changing players, financial problems, all the institutional problems that have been encountered.

"He has had a year that is worth two or three, because it is a very busy year in all areas. I believe that in the end the work has a reward and he has already done it.

"I think the fact of being a person who already knows the environment of the club also gave him a lot of advantage. You have come to know how things work in good times and bad. And I think it will have been an advantage for him, without a doubt."
