Xavi Hernandez has been out of work since being sacked by Barcelona at the end of last season. He is preparing to return to football in the summer, but at this stage, it is far from certain where his second job in Europe will be.
During the season, which is being classed as a sabbatical year for the Barcelona and Spanish football icon, Xavi has been regularly linked to various clubs. He has also avoided speaking to the media, but this week, he conducted an interview with France Football (via Diario AS). He confirmed that he has nothing agreed to return to the bench from the summer, and that he is open to any possibilities – which include managing again in La Liga, even if it is not the Catalans.
“I don’t have anything planned, I’m open. Why not coach another La Liga team? I’m looking for an exciting project, and I have the ambition to win trophies. This is the main objective. I will be listening to different offers.”
During the interview, Xavi revealed that he has taking in a lot of football matches over the course of his sabbatical, with Ligue 1 sides among those being watched. He discussed the dynamic in French football, which centred on the difficulty of going up against Paris Saint-Germain.
“This season I mainly saw French clubs competing in the Champions League and also Olympique de Marseille. It’s difficult to compete with PSG, who have a wonderful project and an extraordinary team… It’s interesting to see what solutions Luis Enrique tries to find against the low block, with very favourable possession in the local league.”
It will be very interesting to see where Xavi ends up for his next job in football. He was largely impressive during his spell as head coach of Barcelona, although it was clearly time for him to move on when he was sacked.

Frank lampard version 2.0 Xavi as a coach
Not the same. Xavi won a league title. Finished second in the next league match. Before you argue that Spain has only two main football clubs remember that Man U in England is battling with Sociedad and Sevilla has a lot of Europa cups. Valencia and Betis r not push arounds and have beautiful results against English opposition. Chelsea is currently playing in conference league. A Spanish team is currently holding the Champions League trophy and this same team has dominated Europe for years and Xavi’s Barcelona won a league title ahead of them. Something that could give Lampard shivers and goosebumps.

the only team he can really join and compete for the league is Athletico De Madrid but we all know, Diego ain't going nowhere 😅😅😅😅 for his sake, i think he should wait for Man Utd or Man City job or go to Dortmund and try to do what Xavi Alonso did with Leverkusen last season with them or join PSG because we all know, once you fail to win UCL at PSG, everything else becomes irrelevant, go there and win two league titles at minimum and look elsewhere to build his profile💯🤞 He already won the league with Barcelona with the young team, so he should go where he can win league titles and build his profile first 💯🤞

is not even their players too, because we have seen some of their players that left and doing well in a new place. I think their name sake(devil)is after the club

How many times do we have to tell you guys that amorim is not the problem of Manchester united...bring ancelotti or Zidane and even guardiola they will suffer with this man u team.. Stop blaming the coach for God's sake.. He hasn't even played preseason with them or done a summer signing.. You guys clearly dont know anything about football.. This is a coach that beat Manchester city with sporting.. Or is sporting a bigger club than Manchester united?? I a coach that won the league twice in 4 years with sporting and took them to champions league?? Until Manchester united agree to do a squad overhaul and chase away all those useless players and allow the coach sign his own team then there will be no change.. Stop being biased and blame the coach.. If xavi go there now he will cry blood
