Barcelona have not given up on the idea of appointing club legend Xavi Hernandez as head coach this summer. This was announced on Twitter by the journalist from `Gadzeta delo Sport` Nikolo Skira. Xavi is currently the head coach of the Qatari club Al-Sad, where he ended his football career. Barcelona`s coach is Ronald Koeman, who was appointed to the post in August last year. Two days ago, the team suffered a heavy loss with 1:4 from Paris Saint-Germain in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League and almost certainly dropped out.
Xavi is constantly linked as a choice to mentor the candidates for the club`s new president. The elections are scheduled for March 7 and there will be more clarity after they are held. Xavi played for Barcelona for 17 years from 1998 to 2015 and won 25 trophies. The Spaniard has won 8 national titles, 3 King`s Cups, 4 Champions Leagues, 6 Spanish Super Cups, 2 European Super Cups and 2 World Club Championships. He is a record holder for Barcelona in the number of matches in the Spanish championship (505) and in the Champions League (151). With the Spanish national team, he is a 2010 world champion, two-time European (2008, 2012) and silver medalist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
