Xavi Hernández's future is generating more and more uncertainty. The man who was Barcelona's coach until just a few months ago is going through difficult days. His departure from the blaugrana team hasn't been followed by new top-level opportunities, as he desired. Although he is open to new adventures, significant offers haven't arrived.
The Terrassa coach confessed to his closest circle that he never imagined finding himself in this situation. He left Barça intending to take a break, but with the expectation of soon receiving a call from a major European club. However, reality has been different. Xavi feels disappointed by the lack of interest from major projects, something that has affected him both personally and professionally.
Despite everything, he keeps his faith intact. Xavi hasn't lost his spirit or ambition. He remains convinced that he is ready to return to the highest level. He believes that his experience on the culé bench, including titles, proves he is qualified to take on a significant challenge. He hasn't stopped training or keeping up with European soccer news; he is ready to start when the right opportunity comes.
Rejects Qatar
One of the surprises of recent weeks has been the call from his former team, Al-Sadd of Qatar. The club where he began his coaching career has shown interest in having him back. However, Xavi Hernández's response has been clear: he doesn't want to return, at least for now, to Qatari soccer. He feels it would be a step backward in his career.
His goal is clear. He wants a competitive project in Europe, not necessarily one of the major clubs, but a team with real aspirations and a serious structure. Xavi values both the quality of the squad and the club's philosophy. He is looking for an environment where he can apply his play style and build an idea for the medium and long term.
Xavi waits patiently
For now, that project hasn't appeared. Some teams have sounded out his situation, but haven't made a firm offer. Others have simply chosen coaches with more international experience. Xavi understands that his profile still raises doubts in some sectors, but he trusts that perception will change soon.
Meanwhile, the Egarense coach keeps preparing. He studies opponents, analyzes tactical systems, and surrounds himself with his trusted team. He wants to be ready for when that call comes. He isn't willing to accept just anything, but he doesn't want to spend an entire year inactive either. Time is ticking, and Xavi knows it.
For now, Xavi Hernández waits. He doesn't despair, but he is living through a personal drama he never imagined. At 45 years old, he still trusts his ability. He just needs a new opportunity, one that will bring him back to the top of European benches.
