Xavi says ‘no’ to coaching South Korea

Xavi Hernandez is not lacking in offers since Barcelona announced that he would not continue with the coach next season. He has several offers on the table.

One of them, which he has rejected categorically, is to become the coach of South Korea. ‘AS’ reported that the coach has said ‘no’ to the proposal from the Asian team, who were beginning to look ahead to the 2026 World Cup.

It is the only national team offer he currently has, though not the first of his career. Brazil, when he was still at Al Sadd, offered him the chance to be Tite's assistant at Qatar 2022 and then his successor.

Since saying in January that he was leaving, only to go on and be sacked, Xavi has received other offers from clubs, including Ajax. Manchester United and Milan have also enquired about his situation, although no concrete offers have been made.

Xavi's intention, according to the aforementioned source, is to take a sabbatical year to be closer to his family, recharge his batteries and take on another exciting project for the future.
