Will Xavi Hernandez follow in Pep Guardiola's footsteps at his ...

Ten Hag is already history at Manchester United. Initially, Van Nistelrooy will take his place on the bench of the English team, but all reports indicate that it will be on a provisional basis. That is why the names of possible replacements for the Dutch coach are already circulating in the English press.

One of the names that is being touted is Xavi Hernandez. The Barcelona legend left the Spanish team at the end of last season and is free, but his idea was to take a sabbatical year.

It will be necessary to wait to see if a proposal from a European giant, such as United, would make him change his mind or not, but no one doubts that for the Spanish coach it would be a major challenge after the bitter experience he has had to live through at Barcelona.

If the circumstances were to come together, the stage would be set for a tantalising encounter, as the Barcelona legend would have Casemiro, one of his great rivals for many years in Clasicos against Real Madrid, as a player.

Outside of these circumstances, Xavi would have the possibility of coaching in the Premier League, where today there are many Spanish coaches, such as Guardiola, Arteta, Emery, Iraola or Lopetegui. Undoubtedly, Xavi's dream would be to emulate Guardiola's career on the bench. On the pitch he already did.
