Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta is reportedly set to take up his first role as a manager after hanging up his illustrious boots in 2024.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Iniesta has reached an agreement to become the head coach of Gulf United in Dubai.
Iniesta has previously made it clear he wanted
to go into coaching and has also admitted he would love to return to Barcelona at some point in the future.
He spoke about his future earlier this year while he was still working on his coaching badges.
“My idea is to start coaching soon. I am missing the Pro license, which I am completing here in Asia,” he told reporters.
“As a coach, you start watching football differently, with a different perspective. The ball still attracts you, but today there are very few secrets. What matters now is preparing myself in the best possible way.
“When you start coaching, you first need to know the players you have and what they can give you. You must have a clear idea of how you want to play, but also the mentality to adapt to the situation.”
Good luck, Don Andres!
