Just now, according to the exact news brought by the British media Times Sport. There has been an update on the change of manager for Premier League side Chelsea, with the hierarchy not picking a manager from the original shortlist following the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino. Instead, they contacted Xavi, who had just been released from Barcelona, and I have to say that this was a very big reversal.

It is reported that after the screening of the list of candidates. The Blues' hierarchy believe that several potential candidates are not ready to take charge of Chelsea next season, and in some ways they are not as good as Pochettino at this stage. So they set their sights on Xavi, who has just left Barcelona. Objectively speaking, Xavi's ability to lead the team is still good. Barcelona, who took over the trough, led the team to shine, winning the La Liga title, although the results have ushered in a decline this season. But overall, Xavi is still a coach at a big club level, and he is very professional in building the team's system.

In Chelsea's view, the squad has a very good squad on paper at this stage, but it has not fully integrated into a single unit. If Xavi can be brought in to coach, then Chelsea's improvement will be just around the corner, which is why they have chosen to approach Xavi at this stage. Times Sport has revealed that the Chelsea hierarchy have had a brief meeting with Xavi in recent times. The two sides have discussed the possibility of joining forces in the future, with Boehly, the owner behind the Blues, very recognizable to Xavi. He believes the Spanish boss has what it takes to lead Chelsea out of the quagmire, and the offer from Chelsea is just as tempting.

As long as Xavi nods, then he will be offered a three-year contract with a salary close to 9 million euros after tax. That's more than double Xavi's time at Barca. In addition to this, the Blues hierarchy also made promises to Xavi. As long as he takes over the team in the future, he will have the power to participate in the team's recruitment decisions. Whether it's the purge of the current roster or the construction of a new main roster framework in the offseason, Xavi has the power to say the word. That's a lot of power for a manager and Xavi is interested in that.

To some extent, at this juncture, there is a great demand for the position of head coach in the Europa League this summer. Because of the giant-level teams alone, there are 7 teams that need to change coaches in the next summer this summer. It is clear that the number of managers currently at home cannot fill this vacancy. Therefore, whoever can lock in a good manager in advance will have an early start next season. Chelsea were certainly aware of this, and they were decisive in contacting Xavi with very tempting terms.

Objectively speaking, Xavi has been able to lead the team to 85 league points this season despite such turmoil at the club, which is indeed not easy. In particular, the team's five-game winning streak at the end of the season ended in La Liga, which also proved his ability to lead the team. At the same time, Barcelona's return to the quarter-finals of the Champions League has pleased the Chelsea hierarchy. For the Blues, their goal at this stage is to improve their results in the league first, and a return to the top four and back to European competition is their primary goal. Xavi's ability to lead the team in the league is very suitable, and it should not be a problem for him to coach Chelsea to fight for the top four.

Considering that next season's Premier League will usher in a relatively big reshuffle, Liverpool ushered in the end of the Klopp era, and it is difficult to say what level the new coach will lead the team. Manchester United won the FA Cup, but that didn't guarantee Ten Hag's stay. Therefore, Manchester United also has the possibility of rebuilding in the future. For Chelsea, they must take the opportunity to improve their league results. If they can successfully return to the top four next season, the team's short-term goal will be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to lock Xavi at this stage. Times Sport says talks are going very well between the two sides and Xavi is likely to become Chelsea's head coach next. What do you think about this?
