Despite the recent success in Salzburg (3-0) in the Champions League, the pressure remains high on Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain.
While the club’s results oscillate between highs and lows, rumors are already circulating about his possible replacement, especially if the club fails in C1 in January. According to several Spanish media, Xavi Hernandez would be at the top of the list to succeed him.
Contacts already established with Xavi Hernandez
The media Carpetas Blaugranas claims that PSG have made contact with Xavi Hernandez, free since his departure from FC Barcelona last summer. Known for his offensive and possession-oriented playing philosophy, Xavi would offer a less rigid alternative to Luis Enrique. His profile also appeals for his ability to manage a young and talented locker room, as he demonstrated during his time in Catalonia.
While President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi publicly maintains his support for Luis Enrique, internal tensions, particularly with certain executives like Ousmane Dembélé, are weakening the position of the Spanish coach. Xavi’s more conciliatory style could be an asset for a club looking for stability and convincing performances.
