Xavi Hernández finds himself once again at the center of the international coaching market after it became known that his name is among the options considered by Al-Ittihad to bolster their bench, as reported by Matteo Moretto.

The Saudi club has held preliminary talks with the Catalan coach's circle, although there is no definitive agreement yet. The possibility of the former FC Barcelona coach returning to the sidelines has generated excitement both in the Middle East and in Europe, where every move related to his future is closely followed.

The Al-Ittihad's board is seeking a profile capable of leading an ambitious medium-term project and believes that Xavi Hernández fits the bill due to his elite experience and the playing style he implemented in his previous coaching stint. However, the final decision won't be immediate, as the club is engaged in discussions with other prestigious candidates who could also take up the role of new coach. This competition makes negotiations more complex and delays any announcement until there is complete clarity on the contractual and sporting conditions.

The reasons behind the interest

The interest in Xavi Hernández stems from several factors. Firstly, his ability to work with top-level players and manage dressing rooms full of international stars, a trait highly valued by the Saudi board. Additionally, his reputation as a strategist with a clear concept of offensive play and possession aligns with Al-Ittihad's desire to establish itself as a competitive club internationally. Finally, his arrival would also have a significant media impact, bolstering the image of the Saudi league abroad and attracting new players who would see the club as an attractive destination.

A signing with multiple implications

Becoming the new coach of Al-Ittihad would represent a significant step for Xavi Hernández in his career, allowing him to manage in a different context from Europe and simultaneously solidify his reputation outside Spain. Talks at the club mention multi-year contracts that could extend up to four years, indicating a serious commitment to stability and long-term growth. This potential signing would not only transform the team dynamics but also send a message of power and ambition to the rest of the competition.

A high-competition context

Despite the expressed interest, Xavi Hernández is not the only name on the agenda. Al-Ittihad is holding parallel discussions with other European and South American coaches, adding uncertainty to the operation. The board understands that selecting the next sporting director will be crucial to reboot results and restore confidence to the fans. Consequently, the leaders are meticulously analyzing each profile before reaching a final decision.

The immediate future of the coach

For Xavi Hernández, the opportunity to take on this challenge means returning to coaching after a break and doing so on a stage of great international impact. Although his name has been linked to various European clubs, the Saudi option appears as one of the strongest at the moment. The final decision will be known in the coming weeks, and if it materializes, it would mark a new chapter in the journey of one of Spain's most recognized coaches of his generation.

What is evident is that the future of Xavi Hernández is once again a topic of discussion, and Al-Ittihad's interest confirms that his figure still holds huge appeal. Becoming the new coach of the Saudi club could not only represent a new professional challenge but also a strategic move to solidify his legacy in coaching and expand his influence in international football.
