DBasia.news – Xavi Hernandez has denied he will become a Barcelona tactician in the near future. Instead, he matched the Blaugrana with Joachim Low.
Xavi became one of the candidates for Barcelona coach under the Joan Laporta era. That is likely to happen next summer.
The Barcelona coach seat has the opportunity to change after the 2020-2021 season ends. Ronald Koeman, who now assumes the position, is on the line.
Koeman must secure at least one trophy to secure his position. If not, he must be prepared to find a new job.
But Xavi has already taken a stand. He refused the offer because he still wanted to continue his adventure in the Middle East with Al-Sadd.
Instead, he recommended the name Low. The person concerned will indeed be unemployed after separating from the German National Team after the 2020 European Cup, next June.
Xavi didn’t just pick Low. He considered the 61-year-old tactician to fit the Barcelona philosophy very well.
“Low is doing his part for Germany to develop a different way of understanding football. It reminds me of what I know in the National Team and Barcelona,” Xavi said as quoted by Diario AS.
Realistic choice
Xavi has a good relationship with Laporta. It is possible that his suggestions will be heard.
Low has indeed become one of the most realistic choices for Barcelona if they want to change coaches in the summer. The quality is not in doubt because it is able to present the World Cup trophy for Germany.
His modern coaching methods are also an added value for Low. It is not impossible that this can make Barcelona’s philosophy of play even more optimal under its concoction.
