Former FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez should not resume his job as a coach before at least 2026.

The former midfielder has been absent since his departure from the Blaugrana in May 2024, after a controversial end of mandate.

Xavi led Barcelona as the Spanish champion during her first full season at the head of the club in 2022/23, but his last months at the head of the club were marked in the negativity.

The 45 -year -old man openly expressed his impatience to assume a new role, but a certain frustration persists as for the end of his career in Barcelona.

Xavi is ready to suffer again

“” I am not in a hurry, but I would like a good project. Like: “You have four years to work and build a project”. I would love to work in the Premier League, I like the passion that reigns there. In Spain, the result is too important ”, He said in an interview with The Athletic.

I'm ready to suffer again, but I don't think I suffer more than in Barça. It was too moving for me because I was also supporting. »»

Xavi's ambition in the Premier League for 2026

Xavi's commentary on the Premier League confirms the widely widespread idea that England is its next destination, but it is ready to wait.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham could all be looking for a new coach this summer, and Diario AS reports that he will wait.

There is a certain uncertainty for these three clubs: Ruben Amorim has failed to establish himself in Old Trafford, and the success of Ange Postcoglou in the Europa League could offer him a second chance to the Spurs.

An international option for Xavi?

The report indicates that Xavi was offered to be Tite's assistant during the FIFA World Cup 2022, in order to replace him at the head of Brazil in 2023.

This door is now closed with Carlo Ancelotti at the head of the Samba Boys – and Luis de la Fuente achieves an exceptional journey at the head of Spain – but the positions of coach of France and England will be vacant after the 2026 World Cup.
