After spending a year away from coaching, Xavi Hernández could soon return to the sidelines. His tenure at Barcelona did not go as planned. Despite securing a league title, the team struggled in European competitions, and his project ultimately lost momentum.
Nevertheless, Xavi remains a highly regarded coach due to his deep tactical understanding and commitment to a playing style inspired by Barcelona’s and Pep Guardiola’s philosophy. Now, after taking a break, the former Barça midfielder appears ready to return to management. According to El Nacional, a major European club has already expressed interest in hiring him.
Juventus Considering Xavi as Their Next Manager
Juventus is reportedly the club considering offering Xavi a new opportunity. The Turin-based team has been struggling and is in search of a coach capable of restoring its status among Europe’s elite.
At present, Juventus sits in fourth place in Serie A and has already been eliminated from the Champions League, leading to uncertainty about Thiago Motta’s future as manager.
According to El Nacional, Juventus’ management sees Xavi as a strong candidate due to his winning mentality and attacking style of play. Despite the differences between Italian and Spanish football, Juventus might be willing to take a chance on him to revamp the team and launch a new competitive project.
Xavi’s Interest in a Rising Barcelona Talent
Should Xavi take charge at Juventus, he reportedly has a specific player in mind for his squad—Fermín López. The young midfielder impressed during the summer Games, and it was Xavi himself who gave him his first-team debut at Barcelona.
Sources suggest that Xavi views Fermín as a perfect fit for his tactical system and believes he could be a crucial player in Juventus’ midfield. Fermín’s ability to make attacking runs, his defensive work rate, and his versatility make him a well-rounded player who could strengthen Juventus significantly.
