Asked about Xabi returning to San Sebastian, Zubimendi told Okdiario: "It would be nice.
"I was lucky to have him as a coach, although less time than I would have liked. I already saw that hewas good, but I didn't know how soon he was going to prove it. What he has done is impressive with the Bayer.
"He took them on the way down and made them champion. They had a nice season.
"Hopefully he comes to La Real and we can be together. It would be nice. Although, at the moment, there is Imanol, who will go for years!"
