Xavi Hernández could be very close to starting a new professional stage in Saudi Arabia. The former coach of Barcelona, who recently left his position as Barcelona's coach, is on the radar of Al Hilal, one of the most powerful clubs in the region. Negotiations between both parties have progressed rapidly, and the interest of the Saudi team is firm: they want to have the Catalan coach on board as soon as possible.
Xavi Hernández, very close to Saudi Arabia
Since his departure from Barça, Xavi's future has been the subject of numerous speculations, but the option of coaching in Asian football has gained strength in recent weeks. Al Hilal, known for its ambition and high-profile signings, believes that the playing style and international experience of the Spanish coach would fit perfectly into their project, aiming to establish themselves as a prominent figure on the international scene.
Xavi, who already experienced life in the Middle East during his time as a player and coach in Qatar, would not be opposed to returning to that part of the world, now as a strategist. Despite having had offers from other continents, the economic factor and the allure of coaching a team full of stars might sway him towards the Saudi club. Riyadh dreams of a bench leader who can replicate his success as a player, but from the touchline.
The deal is not finalized, but the positions seem to be getting closer. Al Hilal hopes to announce Xavi's arrival as their new coach soon. For the former footballer, this opportunity represents a way to further develop in coaching without the media pressure of the Barcelona environment, but within a club that aims high both domestically and in the Asian continent.
