Barcelona legend Xavi has been tipped to return to Camp Nou as a coach in the near future.
Presidential elections are due to be held at Barca on January 24, with a few of those in the running suggesting that they would look to take Xavi back to Camp Nou if given the chance to do so.
Saviola believes it is only a matter of time before the World Cup winner, who made 767 appearances for the Blaugrana in his playing days, embraces the opportunity to fill a demanding post.
“I think he will end up coaching Barcelona, it’s his DNA,” former Barca star Saviola told Radio Marca.
“He’s developing as a coach to gain experience and prepare for taking over at Camp Nou. I am sure he will choose when and how he returns to Barcelona.”
