According to several reports, Xavi has been approached by Juventus as a potential replacement for Thiago Mota who has not had the most successful run at the Italian club. They sit 5th in the Serie A table behind league leaders Napoli. Although Thiago Mota has only been handed a loss once this season, a collection of draws has made his campaign the 3rd worst in the club’s history. The Bianconeri although do not intend on sacking their manager mid-season are considering alternative options.
According to the French news magazine L’Equipe informal talks between Xavi and Juventus have taken place and they have been positive so far. The Barca legend was previously approached by many clubs such as Messi’s Inter Miami and the English club Manchester United. Xavi had politely declined the offers as he wanted a break from managing after he resigned from Barcelona.
A possible return to Barca in the distant future?
Managing a European giant like Juventus can add a lot of experience to Xavi’s managing profile and if he has a successful time there a reunion with the club of his life can not be ruled out. Hansi Flick is doing a fantastic job at Barca so far and hopes to get back into the title race after a statement win against Valencia. However, Hansi Flick will not hold the position forever and so an experienced Xavi who knows the club’s philosophy and playing style like the back of his hand will be a desirable option to replace him. suffers
