La Liga
From the very beginning, Xavi Hernández has made it clear that his next destination will not be in the Middle East: the former FC Barcelona coach has instructed his representatives to reject any offer coming from the Saudi Pro-League. His goal is to remain available and wait for an opportunity at the highest level in Europe, particularly aiming to open the door to Manchester United.
Xavi Hernández's Strategic Plan in the Market
As reported by 'CaughtOffside', the Catalan has adopted a conservative strategy: turning down lucrative Saudi offers to stay open for opportunities. Approaches from Saudi Arabia to clubs like Al-Ittihad have been made, but the idea hasn't progressed. For Xavi Hernández, accepting these offers would mean closing the door on returning to a major European league.
Furthermore, market experts claim that he is prepared to take over the reins at Manchester United immediately if a vacancy arises, even if the club is not competing in European competitions.
Is This a Bet to Reset Manchester United?
Xavi Hernández's interest in managing Manchester United is not just a rumor. Rivalries, history, and media presence converge in this project. The timing for the Red Devils is not the most ideal: their current coach, Rúben Amorim, is under increasing pressure due to erratic results. If a decision is made within the club for a change, Xavi's option stands strong. His playing philosophy based on control, progression, and offensive style aligns with the desire to restore identity to Manchester United. Nevertheless, several sources warn that he has been cautious, even joking about the Manchester rain as part of the challenge.
Expectations and Risks of the British Leap
The transition for Xavi Hernández would imply more than just a geographical change. In England, the pace of the Premier League brings physical demands and immediate results.
Although his background as a midfielder and coach at Barça gives him prestige, no coach enters Old Trafford with carte blanche. Additionally, the costs of breaking contracts and potential clauses at Manchester United could pose logistical hurdles.
Europe as a Lifeline Against the Arab Mirage
While Saudi clubs make multimillion-dollar offers to attract renowned coaches, Xavi Hernández takes a different approach. He refuses to sign away his name for money and prioritizes competitive continuity.
He does not renounce his time as a coach in the Catalan youth system or his bond with FC Barcelona, but his gaze is set far from Camp Nou. His ambition drives him toward greater challenges. Ultimately, Xavi Hernández sticks to a clear formula: wait, without rush, until the right project emerges, and if that project surfaces in England, he'll be ready to respond.
