Andres Iniesta talks Barcelona return, Messi

The city of Barcelona is still drowning in the happiness of the return of Xavi Hernandez to the club as the manager.

The Spaniard took over duties at the Catalan club earlier this week. He has already overseen two days of training and has put a rigid structure in place at the club.

Meanwhile, another midfield legend of the club was asked about a possible return to Barcelona for a role on the sidelines. As relayed by Catalunya Radio, Andres Iniesta said he would love to return to the club someday.

“I would love to return to Barcelona in the future. I am not sure at what stage, but I’d like to help in any other way than playing.”

Iniesta also commented on Lionel Messi’s departure from the club: “I am still shocked to see Messi at PSG, I was very sad because he did not stay in Barcelona, ​​but this is life.”

Time has flown by very fast in Catalonia. The players who were an integral part of the dream team that lit up Camp Nou in the last decade have now moved on in their respective careers.

It is a refreshing sight to see so many of the recent icons of the club stepping forward to help the club. Indeed, they feel a strong connection with the club having played for the Blaugranas for decades at a stretch.

Andres Iniesta is currently playing in the Japanese League for Vissel Kobe. The midfield maestro is now 37, and his playing days are slowly coming to an end.

Given his immaculate understanding of football and tactics, it would not be surprising to see the veteran walk down the coaching path after his retirement. And much like Xavi, Barcelona could one day have Don Andres on the sidelines.
