Xavi Confirms Move To Barcelona As Koeman’s Replacement

 

Former Spanish International, Xavi Hernandez has said the deal to become next Barcelona coach is done.

 

The news comes after Barcalona sacked former manager, Ronald Koeman last week.

 

Hernandez who is currently the head coach at Al-Sadd, said he has been in talks with Barcelona to become their new manager and the deal is done.

 

Speaking on Wednesday evening at his post-match press conference following Al-Sadd’s 3-3 draw against Al-Duhail in the Qatar Stars, 41-year-old Hernandez said, “it is done,” adding that it now depends on the conversations between Barca and Al-Sadd.

“I’ve been talking to Barca for days, it’s done,” Hernandez said.

 

Hernandez added: “But now it depends on the conversations between clubs, they need to reach an agreement. Barca is coming to talk, we are all eager and excited. We’ll see if it ends up being done.
