Xavi announced his retirement from football, saying he will pursue a coaching career.

Xavi, who is currently playing in Qatar, says his management style will be inspired by his time at Barcelona.

"My philosophy as a manager reflects the style that we developed for many years under the influence of Johan Cruyff and from La Masia and it's main exponent is in the way Barcelona play. I love the see the teams that take the initiative on the field, attacking football and go back to that place we all loved since the days of our youth: possession football," said Xavi.
