He also said, the club knows his state of mind and he is looking forward to returning home.
The two clubs are in talks and it needs to be resolved. I am looking forward to going home, as you can imagine, but it is a matter of respect. I have a contract and the two clubs have to agree. I am very excited to go home and even more to be a Barcelona coach, which has a lot of responsibility, but I very am excited and motivated.
The Barcelona legend was optimistic that the deal will be concluded between both clubs.
I am very positive, that’s how I am, I have been very clear about what I want. I think it is a matter of hours, maybe days. They know my position, hopefully, it can be done.
