Barcelona president Joan Laporta said on Friday that he has gotten positive feedback on Xavi Hernandez's coaching credentials and that he would like to have him as the club's coach during his presidency.
Laporta, on the other hand, declined to say whether Xavi will follow Ronald Koeman, who was fired on Wednesday night, and insisted that Barca have "alternative choices."
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, said he had "no doubt" that Xavi is ready to take over as the club's coach.
"I said it when he went to Qatar, that Xavi would end up being the coach of Barca, in fact I would like him to be coach of Barca during my presidency -- what I don't know is when," said Laporta in a press conference on Friday.
"It is true the reports we have about him are very good. I have not followed Al Sadd, but we have talked about Barça games on the phone. We have watched games together almost.
"Let me say no more. For all the talk of Xavi there are also other options. Barca have other options."
