Xavi Hernández on the possibility of directing Barcelona: “It would be spectacular to go back to my house”

Barcelona is looking to replace Ronald Koeman in the technical direction and the main candidate is a man of the house: Xavi Hernández. The current Qatari Al-Sadd coach broke his silence after several days of uncertainty and confessed that he would like to return to the club of his loves.

In addition, he confirmed that Qataris and Spaniards already had a first contact. “Going back to Barcelona would be spectacular. It would be coming home. The two clubs are in talks. I can’t say much more, but I am a positive person. It is a common theme. I hope it can be given ”, revealed the former player for TV3 and SER.

Xavi has every intention of returning to the Barça club, however, Al-Sadd will not allow his departure. “The position of the club is clear from the beginning: we are committed to keeping our coach Xavi with us and we cannot allow him to leave at this delicate moment of the season.”said Turki Al-Ali, the CEO of the Qatari institution, through a post on social media.

The club’s communication was released after the positive meeting that Yuste and Alemany had with Arturo Canales and Fernando Solanas, the former footballer’s agents. From Spain they indicated that there is a verbal agreement between both parties, but it is Al Sadd who is putting obstacles.

It is important to remember that Xavi Hernández left Barcelona, ​​with which he won 25 titles at the end of the 2014-15 season and signed for Al Sadd, a club where he played four seasons and began his career as a coach.

Since then, it has won a Qatar League and two Emir Cups. Right now, his team plays the ninth day of the local tournament and seeks to stay at the top of the table.
