Xavi's Stance on Becoming Chelsea Manager Revealed

Chelsea have made an initial approach for Xavi as they weigh other candidates in a thorough search for Liam Rosenior’s permanent successor.

  • Chelsea is considering hiring Xavi Hernandez as their next manager to preserve the football identity instilled throughout the club's academy structure.
  • The London club is undergoing a "period of self-reflection" following the debacle of Liam Rosenior's appointment and a disappointing season outside the Cup.
  • Seeking a coach with principles similar to Enzo Maresca, Chelsea is considering Xavi alongside Xabi Alonso, Franceso Farioli, Cesc Fabregas, and Andoni Iraola.
  • Although Fabregas is on the list, he is not expected to leave Como this summer, complicating Chelsea's managerial search.
  • Out of work since leaving Barcelona in 2024, The Catalan seeks a "project" offering more space than Spanish football typically allows.
