Football has given me everything’ – Barcelona legend Iniesta after landing new coaching job

Barcelona legend, Andres Iniesta, has expressed happiness after landing a new coaching job.

On Monday, Gulf United, a UAE second-division club, officially announced that the 42-year-old Spaniard has been appointed as their new head coach.

Iniesta takes charge of the club ahead of the 2026/27 season following the departure of Ahmet Cebe.

This comes after he recently earned his UEFA A Coaching Licence as he continues his coaching journey.

“Joining Gulf United feels like the right start for a new chapter in my life,” Iniesta said after his appointment.

“Football has given me everything, and now I want to give back by coaching, learning, and working every day with talented young players who are eager to improve.”
