Today's match between Barcelona and Sevilla may mark Xavi Hernandez's final game at the helm of the Catalan club. It is worth recalling that the Blaugrana's management previously announced the coach's departure at the end of the season.

The saga of Xavi's exit from Barcelona has seen several phases, and despite the Spaniard's declaration of his departure in January, he mentioned that he did not plan to return to work in the upcoming year. However, the temptation of an immediate return to the managerial scene could change everything.

According to reports by Pedro Almeida, Chelsea plans to hold talks with Xavi and offer him the position of head coach for the London team next season.

Earlier this week, we reported that Chelsea announced the departure of Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea has already drawn up a shortlist of candidates to replace the Argentine, but recent events have prompted adjustments to this list.

This season has not been the most successful for Barcelona, yet Xavi managed to lead the team to a championship and a Supercopa victory last season. Despite this year's setbacks, the team secured La Liga's silver medals and reached the Champions League quarterfinals.

It remains uncertain whether Xavi will accept Chelsea's offer, but the proposition might make him seriously reconsider his plans.

Regardless of where the legendary former Barcelona player ends up, it will be fascinating to observe his future endeavors and the transformations he might bring to other teams.
