Chelsea considers Xavi as the new coach after a chaotic season under Liam Rosenior, with major changes expected at Stamford Bridge.
Xavi has emerged as a candidate for one of the most demanding jobs in European football, with Chelsea searching for a new head coach after a difficult season.
Since leaving Barcelona in 2024, Xavi has been without a coaching role, but the option of moving to the Premier League is now open.
Liam Rosenior endured a disappointing spell at Stamford Bridge, and the club now faces serious issues after heavy spending in recent years.
Everything points to a change in direction. Chelsea need to rebuild their approach, but first they must appoint the right coach to lead that process.
Decision-makers are considering several names, many with links to Spain. Cesc Fabregas is admired but seen as difficult to secure.
Xabi Alonso is also exploring a new challenge after his time at Real Madrid, while the option of appointing Xavi has gained strong attention.
Another name mentioned in reports is Francesco Farioli, currently working at Porto.
Xavi last worked in 2024, when he left Barcelona after guiding the club to the La Liga title in 2023.
He began his coaching career at Al Sadd after ending his playing career there in 2019, before returning to Barcelona in 2021.
Now, after a period away from the bench, he appears ready for a new challenge as Chelsea looks to restore stability and direction.
