Jordi Cruyff has given an in-depth interview to talk about his exit from Barcelona and has said he chose to leave because he wants to return to coaching.

The Dutchman has departed the club after two years and is expected to be shortly replaced by former Barcelona and Portugal star Deco.

Cruyff says he’s enjoyed his time at the club but it’s time to try his hand at coaching again.

“Barcelona called me when the club was in a very difficult situation. I was always going to answer that call, there is a special feeling for this club.
