Andres Iniesta opens up on Barcelona managerial dream and coaching Pedri

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has admitted that coaching midfielder Pedri would be a pleasure while refusing to rule out managing his former club in the future. According to Barca Universal, Iniesta praised the 23-year-old’s talent and welcomed his admiration, with Pedri frequently compared to the former Spain international for his technical ability and vision.

Iniesta, who recently began his managerial career with Dubai-based Gulf United FC, stressed that returning to Barcelona as coach remains a distant ambition. The 2010 World Cup winner said he was in no hurry to take the role, describing his achievements as a player at Camp Nou as irreplaceable. He has lost his first two matches in charge of Gulf United.
