Inista talks about the possibility of Barcelona's return

Barcelona has a habit of naming former players as trainers, perhaps because appointments have often resulted in success.

One such case is recently with Xavi Hernandez, who returned to take the lead in the team, while currently at the helm of the table in La League, broadcast the Express newspaper.

Former Xavi midfield partner Andres Inista has now opened the door for a similar route.

Spain's former promoter is now 38 years old, but he is still playing for Vissel Kobe in Japan, who joined him after leaving Barcelona in 2018.

Speaking for “La Gazzetta dello Sport” in a recent interview, Inista admitted she would like to return to “Camp Nou”.

And then we'll see. I'd like to go back to Barca, it's my home, but I still don't know what quality; coach, sports director or anything. In any case, the first thing I have to do is train and at the moment I still see myself as a player”, the former Barcelona midfielder said.

The Spaniard said he would take steps to prepare himself for any role he will pursue.

It's nice to think that someone who has been and given so much to a club can keep doing this, even if they stop playing, but there must be the right conditions for it. You can't say: I won't do anything, but let me get back to”, added 38.

While it comes to positions offered by Barcelona to former footballers, the truth is that their best success periods have come under the direction of Johann Cruyff and Pep Guardios.
