In recent days, rumors linking Xavi Hernández to Inter Miami have gained momentum. The American club is looking for a new coach following the resignation of Gerardo Martino. It seems that Xavi's name was on top of the list. However, Sport has put an end to any kind of speculation, putting an end to this possibility.
Miami has no intention of signing Xavi Hernández and they are even considering another coach in advanced negotiations. This possibility was on the table for one clear reason: the strained relationship with some of his former teammates at Barça.
While he's always been in good terms with Sergio Busquets, his relationship with Jordi Alba worsened when he became Barcelonas's manager. On the other hand, with Messi and Luis Suárez he has cooled down over time, being able to get along. The context was not considered favorable and it was decided not to hire him.
Xavi Hernández is Still Looking for a Team: Not from Inter Miami, Confirmed
Xavi Hernández already knows that he will not be the new coach of Inter Miami. Although this possibility caused doubts in him, the reality is that he is eager to return to the coaching bench. In any case, everything seems to indicate that he will take some time until next season. He doesn't want to take on a project halfway and hopes to shape it to his liking.
He had the option of moving to Manchester United on the table but he was not sure about it. In the end, the English team opted for Amorim and that possibility fell through completely. In Qatar he knows that he would be highly welcomed. However, he considers that it would be a step backwards in his career as a coach.
Messi will Return to Barcelona
Leo Messi will return to FC Barcelona, although it will be for a short time. The Barça Reservat podcast on Catalunya Ràdio has announced that the Argentinian star will be one of the figures to attend the gala for the 125th anniversary of Barça. This commemoration will be held at the Gran Teatro del Liceu. Among the confirmed legends, there will be a Messi who has already confirmed his presence.
In this sense, Leo Messi will return to Barcelona to play "an active role" in this event and be an "important" piece in its development. In recent weeks, Joan Laporta sent a letter to number 10 to formally invite him to the event. According to the aforementioned, this invitation has been accepted. Messi will return to the Catalonian capital, being present at an event alongside other legends such as Puyol or Xavi Hernández.
