In a Q and A with 'FourFourTwo' the Asturian admitted that he would like to manage in England someday

Former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique is hoping to manage in the Premier League in the future. In a question and answer session with fans, organised by 'FourFourTwo' the 47-year old shed light on his future plans and admitted that he has one eye on a Premier League job in the future.

Fans wrote in, asking Enrique questions on all facets of his life, including his past, present and of course futureplans. Rumours persist that Antonio Conte could make an unlikely exit from the Premier League after falling out with senior Chelsea officials and that if that is the case, Enrique would be the man that Roman Abramovich would target to replace the Italian. 

Despite this, Enrique seemed to be taking more long-term view and has made it clear that he is looking to enjoy a break from football before he gets back into work.

In previous interviews Enrique has hinted that he would have liked the chance to play in England during his career and still harbours a similar desire as a manager, "I'd like to manage in England at some point." he told 'FourFourTwo' before adding that "It would depend on the team and the football played". 

Enrique was linked with the Reading hotseat some time ago, though the Asturian insisted that "it was gossip" and the he never spoke with Reading.
