Mikel Arteta has revealed the club he could be heading to after his managerial stint at Arsenal.
However, the Gunners boss said he is not thinking much about the future right now as he wants to focus on the north London club.
The Spaniard has been linked with a future move to Barcelona, with recent reports linking him with the Blaugrana, who have already started planning for life after Xavi.
Speaking to FIFA, Arteta admitted that he would like to return to Spain when quizzed if he would manage Barcelona or Real Madrid next.
“Spain is my country. I have been away for many years and at some point it could be an option to return to the league and have other experiences. But [not] now.
“I’ve known him [Xavi]since we played together at Barça. Only knowing his character and what he feels about the game made it clear that Barça needed a figure like him.
“He has been able to withstand the pressure and has always been faithful to his ideas, defending the club and the players. The team has been very reliable all year,” he said.
