Chelsea are reportedly preparing for talks with Xavi Hernandez despite the English media ruling out the 44-year-old from the race.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea could engage in talks with Xavi Hernandez to convince the 44-year-old former Barcelona manager to take over at Stamford Bridge. The report contradicts the English media’s suggestion that the Spaniard is not in the running for the Stamford Bridge job, where Enzo Maresca currently leads the race.
Chelsea in Xavi Hernandez talks?
Chelsea are looking for a new manager to take their young project into its next phase and has already parted company with Mauricio Pochettino. The market for managers has been quite rife since the end of the English season, with the Blues at the very forefront of this hunt.
The report states that among other candidates, Chelsea are preparing talks with Xavi Hernandez to take up the vacant managerial role at Stamford Bridge. The 44-year-old legendary midfielder only recently left his role at Barcelona, but during a recent press conference, suggested he might take some time away from the game.
In fact, the English media suggested Xavi is not in the running for the Stamford Bridge job, as he is a name absent from their recently revealed shortlist of candidates. On paper, the 44-year-old former Barcelona manager is a brilliant manager who might come to fit Chelsea’s requirement for a young, progressive manager.
While some dots could be connected with this rumour, it might not come down to anything concrete in the coming period. Chelsea have already ruled out a move for Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna, as they are poised to appoint Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca as their new manager.
Enzo Maresca to become Chelsea boss?
Chelsea have been talking to Enzo Maresca, and according to Fabrizio Romano, they are inching closer to landing the Italian to replace Pochettino at the Stamford Bridge helm. Marseca seems like the clear favourite to manage the club next season, although there are question marks regarding his experience in the top flight.
Technically, he will be a rookie Premier League manager next season despite his experience in helping Leicester City win the Championship this season and sealing a return to the top flight. In the coming days, the Italian tactician will likely be confirmed as Chelsea’s new boss, and it will be interesting to see how much further he can take this young project.
