Xavi Hernandez’s wife, Nuria Cunera, caused a huge controversy in the past hours after she published a photo that hinted at her husband’s imminent return to coaching and from the gates of a giant club.
Xavi was dismissed from coaching Barcelona at the end of last season, and he had previously announced that he needed to rest for a full year before returning to work in football again.
In the past hours, news spread about Manchester United’s management meeting with Xavi in Barcelona to discuss the possibility of him coaching the team to succeed coach Erik ten Hag in the coming days.
Xavi’s wife increased the intensity of these rumors when she published a photo of Xavi sitting with his son, the latter wearing a Manchester United shirt.
Immediately, interpretations began to go to that it was a message from Xavi’s wife about the negotiations between the coach and the English club, and a sign that the Spaniard wants to undergo this new experience.
So far, the United management has not made a decision to dismiss Ten Hag, and the main reason is the huge value of the compensation that the Dutchman will receive in this case, which exceeds 14 million euros.
United is in a deplorable state this season, as it occupies 14th place in the Premier League, and has failed to achieve any victory in the Europa League and has only drawn in the first 3 rounds.
Xavi, 44, may be an ideal choice to save United, after his experience in Barcelona, which began in similar conditions and perhaps worse after the dismissal of Ronald Koeman.
