The FC Barcelona will make this week the definitive and necessary move to be able to close the signing of Xavi Hernández Creus (41 years) as a new coach, after the dismissal of Ronald Koeman In the past week. With a team devastated by casualties and that does not quite find the key to score more goals and stop conceding them, the interim time of Sergi Barjuan, a plumber called urgently to cover the huge hole in the Barça bench, he cannot expand any further. The workforce already needs a solid leader, firmly legitimized by the board of directors and the president Laporta, and of a work plan that will put an end once and for all to the slow decrease in the demand and the work experienced in the Barça dugout in the last five years. And as the chosen one is Xavi, you have to move.
Defining the trip
In that sense, and as he was able to confirm MD, FC Barcelona has planned a trip of its dome, headed by the president Laporta (if your schedule allows it), to close the hiring of Xavi with the Al Saad Qatari. Today it must finish deciding whether the Barça delegation travels to Qatar from Kiev, where the team plays tomorrow in the Champions League, or from Barcelona, after returning from Ukraine.
In any case, what is clear is that several Barça ‘heavyweights’ will travel to Qatar to meet with the owners of the club. Xavi Hernandez and negotiate his transfer directly. The sports vice president, Rafa Yuste, and the football director, Mateu Alemany, they seem fixed on the expedition.
They want Barça to travel to Qatar
The Al Sadd wants him Barça Treat him as equals and that implies that if he wants to take his coach, ask him face to face and offer something in return. And more than money, the Qatari club would like the culé team, already with Xavi as a technician, played a game in Doha, all a claim for the fans of Al Sadd to see a ‘top’ team and to honor a figure who has been in their ranks for seven years.
Xavi and his coaching staff hope that the agreement will be closed on Thursday the 4th, given that on Wednesday they have an important league game against him Al Duhail, second classified and great rival in the fight for the title of Al Sadd, now leader of the Qatar championship.
