After leaving Barcelona in 2024, Xavi Hernandez, who has not managed any team since, may return to coaching.
“Elchi” reports, citing the “Independent” publication, that there is serious interest in the Catalan specialist in the English Premier League.
According to the information, Chelsea plans to bring in Xavi for the head coach position for the new season.
Having worked at Barcelona for three seasons and winning the La Liga title and the Spanish Super Cup during that time, the 44-year-old specialist has been unemployed since 2024. The London club’s management intends to rebuild the team based on a long-term project.
Chelsea’s management aims to create stability in the team and the club’s structure with Xavi’s arrival.
Although the names of Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Francesco Farioli, and Andoni Iraola are mentioned in the list of candidates, Xavi is considered the main favorite for the London representative.
