Xavi has announced he will be retiring from playing football at the end of the season.
The Barcelona legend left the Spanish club in 2015 following an illustrious 17 season career where he won dozens of titles.
He picked up eight La Liga titles, three Copa del Reys and won the Champions League an incredible four times.
The 39-year-old has been playing for Al Sadd in the Qatar Stars League for the last five seasons but confirmed this season will be his least.
“This is my last season as a player, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for me as a coach,” Xavi said.
“My philosophy as a coach reflects the style we developed for many years under the influence of Johan Cruyff and La Masia, and that has its greatest exponent in the way of playing football in Barcelona.
“I love seeing the teams take the initiative in the field, play attacking football and return to the essence of what we all love since our childhood days: football possession.”
