Barcelona veteran and former FIFA World Cup winner Xavi Hernandez has shed light upon the fact that although he would be open to managing any of the top Premier League teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, he will not manage Liverpool.
Xavi, who is currently in charge of Qatar Stars League football club Al Sadd, added that he prefers to move back to Europe and coach Barcelona.
“I will not hide it: my goal is to return to Europe and return to Barcelona,” he was quoted as saying by Sky Sports in a recent interview.

“It is my challenge ahead, but I am still learning in this project with Al Sadd at Qatar, and I am also enjoying it.”
“My idea, which also happened to me as a footballer, is to be in Barcelona.”
“Training this type of team would be a privilege, and the greatest privilege for me would be to return to Barca,” he added.
“That is my goal, but obviously, who doesn’t like the Premier League?” Xavi said.
“The football atmosphere, the packed stadiums and the people who play in the Premier League say it’s extraordinary.”
“Obviously if I had to choose, I would choose a big team: [Manchester] City, or [Manchester] United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham – but not Liverpool,” he concluded.
Xavi is yet to take a call on his future assignments.
