Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez is set to become the club’s new head coach after Al Sadd agreed to allow him to return to the Nou Camp.
Al Sadd chief executive Turki Al-Ali said: “Xavi informed us a few days ago of his desire to go to Barcelona at this particular time, because of the critical stage his hometown club is going through, and we understand this and decided not to stand in his way.
“The Al Sadd administration has agreed on Xavi’s move to Barcelona after the payment of the release clause stipulated in the contract. We’ve agreed on cooperation with Barcelona in the future.
“Xavi is an important part of Al Sadd’s history and we wish him success.”
