Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez is officially ready to jump back into the coaching game, and he is eager for a specific, surprising target: a national team gig. Xavi has been out of work since leaving FC Barcelona back in 2024, but his name has been tossed around with various clubs across Europe. Now, he is making it clear what kind of job he is truly after.
Forget Club Drama: Family Comes First for Xavi
If Xavi does take on a new role, he is making his preference crystal clear. “A national team would suit me well on a family level,” he told RNE. He gets it, right? Running a club team is an all-consuming grind, and Xavi has young children. He just cannot be with his family as much in a club role. This is a real human element driving his career choice.
World Cup’s End Means New Opportunities for the Legend
Xavi himself is not holding back on what he wants to achieve. He said, “I’ll say it openly, it would suit me. I’m eager to participate as a coach in a World Cup, a European Championship, an Africa Cup of Nations, an Asian Cup.” With the World Cup wrapping up this Sunday, the coaching carousel for national teams could be spinning fast in the coming weeks and months. We could see some major jobs opening up.
The soccer world is waiting to see where this Barcelona icon lands next. Keep an eye out, because it feels like it is only a matter of time before Xavi is back on the big stage, leading a national squad to glory.
