Comments Off on Xavi emerges as leading candidate for Al Ahli head coach role

Xavi Hernandez is reportedly considering a return to coaching after a two-year hiatus. He is viewed as the leading candidate to take over as manager of Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia.

This development follows the unexpected departure of the club’s previous coach, Matthias Jaissle, who left to join Newcastle.

Al Ahli’s attempt to secure Arne Slot as their new manager was unsuccessful.

Now, the club is turning its attention to Xavi, who led Barcelona to the La Liga title in the 2022/23 season.
