Xavi Hernandez, the former Barcelona manager, has announced his intention to return to coaching in the summer following a break from the game.
Since leaving Barcelona in 2024, the Spanish coach has been rumored to be considering various job opportunities. Nevertheless, the 45-year-old has now clarified his future plans.
“I plan to return to the sidelines this summer. I am currently enjoying a sabbatical, but I am eager to get back into coaching,” Xavi told France Football.
“I have enjoyed watching Ligue 1 clubs this season, especially PSG, Monaco, Lille, Brest, and Marseille.
“It’s interesting to see the tactical approaches of coaches like Luis Enrique and Roberto De Zerbi. I have also been closely observing teams managed by Pep Guardiola, Arne Slot, Vincent Kompany, Xabi Alonso, and Mikel Arteta.
“Additionally, I have followed Tottenham, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest under Nuno Espirito Santo, and others.”
Xavi won several trophies, including the UEFA Champions League, LaLiga and Super Cup during his playing days.
