It's Been Almost a Year Since Xavi Hernández Left Barça. His departure, although predictable, left a bittersweet taste. During his time on the bench, the Egarense managed to win two titles: La Liga and the Supercopa de España.
However, beyond the achievements, there was a feeling that the team never fully took off in terms of playing style. The matches lacked the dominance and fluidity that characterized Barça of yesteryear, something Xavi always tried to recover without total success.
The coach, an undisputed idol of the club, left amid a climate of demand and frustration. The pressure to return Barça to the top of Europe was constant, and the team's inconsistency took its toll. Although his tenure had its ups and downs, no one can deny Xavi's commitment to recovering the football identity, something he always carried as a banner.
Xavi Hernández, Closer Than Ever to Returning
After a full year away from the field, Xavi Hernández seems ready to return to the fray. He expressed this himself in an interview for the magazine France Football, where he stated he is excited to coach again.
The break has also served him to observe soccer from another perspective and stay updated with new ideas. Now, with more maturity and experience, he feels ready to lead a new project, possibly in a different context and with less media pressure.
Juventus, the Club That Wants the Egarense
Juventus of Turin seems to be the team most interested in acquiring the services of the former blaugrana coach. The Italian team is seriously evaluating Thiago Motta's continuity beyond the summer, and everything points to Xavi being the favorite to take over.
The Juventus board values Xavi's tactical knowledge and his ability to work with young talents, something that fits with their renewal plan. Additionally, Xavi's experience as a player in the European elite gives him an edge that makes him attractive to a club looking to return to the forefront of soccer.
The Barça Footballer Who Enchants Xavi
According to the media 'El Nacional', Xavi Hernández has a football obsession that he could bring to his next project, and it is Gavi. The Andalusian midfielder, whom Xavi debuted and considers one of the greatest talents of his generation, is one of his priorities.
Xavi would be making moves to try to sign him, although the operation is extremely complicated. Gavi is completely tied to Barça and has made it clear that his desire is to continue at the club. However, Xavi's admiration for the young player is so great that it is not ruled out that he will try to convince him to embark together on a new football adventure.
