Revealed: Premier League plan for ex-Barcelona boss Xavi! Camp Nou legend intends to follow in coaching footsteps of Pep Guardiola

<p>Xavi's spell as Barcelona boss came to an end after almost three years last month, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/you-will-suffer-xavi-warning-barcelona-successor-hansi-flick-insists-work-hasnt-been-appreciated/blt03069c7dee5aabb0" target="_blank">when the club announced his exit</a> ahead of the arrival of Hansi Flick. The former Spain midfielder is now set to undergo a sabbatical, but according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/planes-futuro-xavi-hernandez-103522029" target="_blank">Sport</a>, he sees the Premier League as an "interesting" project while he plots his next move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The end to Xavi's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/team/barcelona/agh9ifb2mw3ivjusgedj7c3fe" target="_blank">Barcelona</a> spell was something of a protracted affair, with the former Camp Nou midfielder announcing in January that he would be leaving at the end of this season, only <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-president-joan-laporta-xavi-managerial-saga-hansi-flick-joao-felix-joao-cancelo-transfer-decisions/blt532d71bb9cd01806" target="_blank">to perform a U-turn</a> and state that he would remain for another season. The club then announced he had been dismissed at the end of the campaign which saw the club finish second in La Liga, 10 points behind rivals Real Madrid.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Xavi's tenure in charge of the Catalans came with the club facing significant financial challenges, but he did steer them to Liga title glory in 2022-23, which he can add to the eight crowns that he won on the pitch. One of the club's most iconic players, he also collected three Copa del Reys and four Champions League titles during his career.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The 44-year-old now plans to take a sabbatical, but it is clear he remains committed to pursuing a coaching career. Should he move to the Premier League, he will no doubt look to emulate his former Barca boss Pep Guardiola, who has enjoyed unprecedented success during his time at Manchester City.</p>
