Former Barcelona star Xavi Hernandez has revealed he would be opening to managing in the Premier League with the Gunners, and Arsenal fans have been quick to respond to the midfielder’s claims.
Xavi, who spent 17 years at the Nou Camp and won 25 honours with the Catalan giants, is currently the manager of Qatari side Al-Sadd.
The 39-year-old is hoping to move on to bigger and better things in the future and recently shared his wishes to manage the Premier League.
Talking to the media, cited by Arsenal fan account @WorldwideAFC, the former midfield star admitted he would be interested in joining a ‘big team’ in England.
Obviously, if I had to choose, I would choose a big team, [Manchester] City or United, Chelsea, Arsenal.
Klopp, Pochettino and Unai Emery, many people who have gone there are doing an extraordinary job.
These Arsenal fans were quick to respond to the comments, with plenty excited regarding the former Barcelona man’s claims.

We’re not expecting to see Xavi replace Unai Emery anytime soon, but the Spaniard’s first taste of management in Qatar will certainly be one to keep a close eye on.
As a player, Xavi was known as one of the best passers in world football, and if he can get his style of football across from the bench, then he could certainly fit in at the Emirates further down the line.
