Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez can't see former Barcelona teammate Xavi replacing coach Ronald Koeman.

Al Sadd boss Xavi is favourite for the Barca post.

But Suarez explained that, "as a soccer fan and what he has done as a player, I don't think that today, tomorrow or the day after is the time to catch the team.

"He is intelligent and he knows the club's difficulty. He must wait for the moment.

"He has colleagues inside with whom he will have to make decisions and it will be difficult."
