\u201cThe club approached me in January, but the timing and circumstances weren\u2019t right for me. I want to return at a time where I can start my project from scratch. I am a club person and I would like to be able to make decisions for Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest dream I have now is to become the Bar\u00e7a coach and return there to succeed,\u201d said the former Bar\u00e7a midfielder.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy technical staff are preparing a lot for Bar\u00e7a. Ideally, I would like to return after the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
Current club president Bartomeu in insistent on remaining as the incumbent until 2021, with no indication at this juncture as yet regarding who would most likely be taking over. What is known however is that the doors have been kept open for Xavi, which means he is most likely to be the next Barca coach when Setien\u2019s tenure is over, which could be anytime depending on how the club fares this season in the hotly-contensted race between the Blaugrana and the Los Blancos.<\/p>\n
