 | Mendieta on Xavi at Manchester United: He won trophies with Barça during a special period for the club. If there is a suitable project, I am sure he will agree27-10-2025 |
Gaizka Mendieta believes Xavi is ready to lead Manchester United. I think if the right project comes along, he will give in to the temptation. Who doesn`t want to coach in the Premier League? Who wouldn`t want to lead Manchester United, even if the club is going through difficult times?
He won trophies with Barça at a very specific time in the club`s history and made a difference. Of course, he doesn`t know Manchester United like he knows Barca, but he has experience, he understands what it is and is capable of doing these things.
So if the project seems right to him, I`m sure he`ll agree. He was already preparing himself, waiting for a chance. I know he had options with other teams, but they weren`t the same projects.
I think that for a coach like him, the main thing is the project itself, and not just the history or the name of the club. Many doubted when he took over Barça, because before that he had only worked in Qatar. People thought he wasn`t ready, but he won the league and the Super Cup in his first [full] season.
I think football has changed a lot. Coaches and players began to adapt faster. Now the level is incredibly high, everything is developing faster because people are better prepared. Coaches have more tools to understand what is happening at other clubs and with other players. He has his own tools for analyzing the situation. So wherever he goes, be it Manchester United or another team, he will definitely be ready for the job, ” the former Barcelona midfielder told OLBG.
