His return to Catalonia for a vacation had fueled speculation, but coach Xavi finally extended with Al Sadd while FC Barcelona confirmed Ronald Koeman on Thursday. In an interview with La Vanguardia, the former Barça maestro explained that he does not intend to rush his return to the Blaugrana.
“We renewed for two years with Al Sadd, we are very happy and open to other offers from other clubs, but calmly. My priority now is my family and I don’t feel the need to leave. I am. I learn, I make mistakes, I am involved in a very beautiful project, which does not only concern Al Sadd but also the World Cup in Qatar, which will take place in a year. I will have an important role . (??) I’m in no rush to train Barça, “clarified the Spaniard.
The reunion could take place in the summer of 2022, when Koeman comes to the end of his contract.
