Unexpected twist. Xavi could take over RB Leipzig
Barcelona legend and former manager Xavi Hernández could become the new head coach of German club RB Leipzig, according to Fichajes.
Details: Leipzig is going through a difficult period under head coach Marco Rose. After a disappointing start to the season, particularly in the Champions League where the German team has lost all of its matches, the club’s management is considering a coaching change.
In this context, Xavi’s name has emerged as a potential replacement. The Spanish coach is reportedly on Leipzig’s radar as they look to turn around the team’s results in both domestic and European competitions.
Reminder: Xavi's most recent club was Barcelona. He had been linked with the head coach position at Inter Miami, but the MLS side appointed Javier Mascherano instead.
This season, RB Leipzig is in third place in the Bundesliga with 21 points. In the Champions League, the German club is currently in 34th place, having failed to earn any points.
