According to Saudi media 365Scores, former Barcelona coach Xavi is currently a strong candidate for the new head coach position at Al Ittihad Jeddah.
Since stepping down from his role at Barcelona this summer, Xavi has been on hiatus. Several clubs have attempted to lure him out of retirement during this period, but he has turned them all down. However, according to reports, Xavi’s next destination is likely to be the Saudi Arabian powerhouse Al Ittihad Jeddah.
Al Ittihad Jeddah has only managed 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the new league season, accumulating 7 points and ranking 6th in the Saudi Professional League. In a shocking turn of events, the team lost 1-2 to second-tier side Al-Jeel in the first round of the Saudi Crown Prince Cup, causing significant dissatisfaction among the club’s management. The current head coach, Jaisle, is likely to be dismissed soon, and the club is very keen for Xavi to take over. Preliminary talks between both parties have already taken place.
