Barcelona tried to recruit Xavi Hernandez as their coach a week before his Qatar club Al-Saad were due to play a cup final, which they won. AFP/KARIM JAAFARMADRID: Xavi Hernandez has reiterated his desire to coach Barcelona in the future but suggests he will not return until a different board brings a new sense of direction to the club.
Yet the relationship between Barcelona's board, led by president Josep Maria Bartomeu, and the players has remained tense, with Lionel Messi's public criticism of technical secretary Eric Abidal among a number of off-field controversies. "Everything has to fit," Xavi added."I would like to come in with people from my environment that could form a good team."Pushed on whether working with the current board would be a deal-breaker, Xavi said:"It wouldn't be definitive but I insist I would like to have total harmony. I don't know if that can happen ... I have nothing against anyone and I don't have a bad relationship with Bartomeu.
"I would like to work with people in whom I have confidence, with whom there is loyalty," said Xavi."We are talking about Carles Puyol, who was captain of Barca, and Jordi Cruyff, a very good businessman with a lot of experience as a technical secretary."
