Xavi will remain in Qatar for now, with Al Sadd announcing that the star footballer will stay with the club for the next two seasons, although his role may change.

The former Barcelona legend is finishing his stellar career in the Middle East and has reached a preliminary agreement with Al Sadd to continue for two more seasons, according to the club’s general manager, Turki Al Ali.

Xavi can still hoist silverware by winning the Asian Champions League, in which Al Sadd are leaders in the group stage, joint-leaders with Persepolis after the first four games.

However, as indicated by the club’s announcement on Twitter, Xavi may transition into a coaching a role, whether that be as an assistant or replacement of Jesualdo Ferreira.
