Xavi Hernández could soon be tempted by one of the great clubs in Europe to be their coach if they replace their current manager. What is the club in question? We will tell you in FCBN

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The future of Xavi Hernández has become a topic that has generated debate in various sectors of international football. Why? Because the man from Egar, who stopped being the coach of FC Barcelona at the end of the 2023-24 season, has been the subject of speculation about when he will return to the benches. It has even been rumored that several clubs would be interested in having the services of the talented former Spanish footballer.

Recently, information has emerged suggesting that one of the 'greats' and historic teams in Europe is closely monitoring the situation of Xavi Hernández with the intention of having him on their agenda in case they end up replacing their coach. At this point, it has been mentioned that the man from Terrassa, who at one point was rumored to be a possible coach for Manchester United and the Qatar national team, among others, would be on the list of options to strengthen AC Milan.

It should be noted that the position of Paulo Fonseca, the current coach of the 'rossoneri' team, seems to be on shaky ground, as the team has not managed to take off in Serie A. In the last five matches of the local tournament, they have only accumulated three draws, one win, and one loss, currently placing them in eighth place with 23 points, out of the European competitions for the next season.

Despite this, the situation in the UEFA Champions League seems to be a bit more encouraging for AC Milan, as they are currently in twelfth place in the prestigious European club tournament, with a total of 12 points in six matches, which translates to four wins and two losses, placing them in a position that allows them to access the 'playoffs' in search of a spot in the round of 16.

Xavi Hernández, candidate to coach AC Milan if they end up replacing Paulo Fonseca

According to information reported on the website 'Fichajes.net', the management of AC Milan would be interested in Xavi Hernández to change the dynamics of the team and return it to the European elite. The 'rossoneri' are looking for a coach with the profile of the man from Terrassa, capable of deploying an attractive playing proposal focused on ball possession and offensive transitions through passes, an offensive and dynamic style that aligns with the footballing values of the club.

At the same time, it is said that AC Milan is also evaluating Xavi Hernández's ability to manage a dressing room full of stars, a quality that seems to be essential to support his candidacy.

The outcome of the situation of Paulo Fonseca at AC Milan will be interesting to follow, as it seems that his relationship with the fans and the team is not the best, which could lead to his departure. However, if the 'rossoneri' manage to straighten their course in the local league, it would not be surprising if he continues in the position at least until the end of the season.

Would the man from Egar want to coach AC Milan?

On the other hand, it is relevant to consider the interest that Xavi Hernández may have in taking on the challenge of coaching a large club like AC Milan. After an exhausting period of two and a half seasons as coach of FC Barcelona, the man from Terrassa expressed his desire to take a break to be with his family and engage in other activities.

Recently, he has been seen enjoying football again, even participating as a player in a match between the legends of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, where he demonstrated his quality with a brilliant assist. Is Xavi ready for a new adventure? Time will tell.
