Xavi's Next Move: MLS Bound?
Following a tumultuous spell at the helm of Barcelona, Xavi, fresh off a La Liga title win, has announced his departure from the club.
Sources suggest that the pressure-cooker atmosphere of one of football's most demanding managerial positions has taken its toll on the former midfield maestro. According to reports from El Chiringuito, while Xavi plans to take a hiatus from coaching, he's not closing the door on a return to the touchline.
El Chiringuito claims that Inter Miami has already initiated contact with Xavi. The allure of reuniting with former teammates Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, who are all part of the Herons' roster, seems to be a significant factor.
"Xavi wants to stop for a year but there have been contacts with Inter Miami," the report states. "If an interesting offer arrives, he will accept it."
The potential arrival of Xavi could spell trouble for current Inter Miami head coach Tata Martino. Despite overseeing a historic Leagues Cup victory last season, Martino finds himself under pressure to deliver more silverware in 2024.
