Xavi is the new head coach of FC Barcelona, it was official for a few days. But the Spaniard would have had another offer.
The new head coach of FC Barcelona, Xavi (41), turned down another offer before his.
As he himself leaked on his performance at Blaugrana, the 41-year-old could have signed with the Brazilian association. There it was envisaged that he would initially support national coach Tite as an assistant coach, and then take over as chief instructor after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
FC Barcelona: Xavi’s dream was Barca
“My only dream was to come to Barca,” said the former midfielder about the offer, which he turned down relatively quickly. “I feel prepared, I have a lot of self-confidence. I think now is just the time for it.”
Xavi takes over his ex-club in a anything but easy situation, because the Catalans are currently only ninth in the LaLiga table and are a whopping ten points away from arch-rivals Real Madrid.
FC Barcelona: Xavi demands good results
“It’s about performance, norms, working to the limit and convincing the players of success. We will be measured by results and we will try to play well and deliver results,” said Xavi.
He himself played for FC Barcelona for 17 years and won the Champions League four times between 1998 and 2015.
