'I need peace of mind': Xavi confirms plans to return to coaching
Former Barcelona manager Xavi is ready to return to coaching as confirmed during his interview with French outlet L'Equipe.
"Until June I need peace of mind. Starting in June, we will see what the club market," Xavi said.
"Live, enjoy life. I have the feeling that I have not had free time and I am enjoying it traveling with the children and my wife.
"Enjoying day to day, being a father. Enjoy a soccer game without having the need or tension of the result. I'm happy, I'm happy.
"I see all the teams. Even if I'm more in tune with Guardiola, Klopp, Arne Slot. But they are different. What does Tottenham do? What does Newcastle do? What is the Nottingham Forest above doing now? What does Nuno Espírito Santo do?
"Well, I'm going to look. Or what De Zerbi does in a ball outing. Luis Enrique, who is doing something different last year. And not only more important leagues, but also that of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Portugal. Obviously the Champions League.
"I like to see, I am up to date. I have fun. Bayern itself, with Kompany doing a good job, Xabi Alonso, Arteta at Arsenal. I'm up to date," Xavi adds.
Barcelona sacked Xavi in May 2024 following a disagreement on the way forward for the club.
Xavi earlier announced he was stepping down but the club pleaded with him to stay only to sack him later on.
