Andres Iniesta is excited about the prospect of Xavi being Barcelona manager and says his good friend and former teammate is ready for the challenge.
The 41-year-old will be officially presented as Barcelona’s new coach on Monday after leaving Al Sadd after two years in charge of the Qatari side.
Iniesta says his former teammate is a “perfect fit” for the role and has prepared well for the job in hand at the Camp Nou.
“He’s ready - he’s been preparing and he’s capable. He’s a perfect fit, that’s for sure,” he said.
“Not just because of what he may know about La Masia or the club, but because he’s ready for it.
