AC Milan were one of the clubs that enquired about the idea of hiring Xavi after his exit from Barcelona was confirmed, according to a report.
There seems to be a Europe-wide carousel when it comes to head coaches this summer, and Xavi Hernandez is one of those who is looking for a new job after leaving Barcelona following a more difficult season than the 2022-23 LaLiga title-winning campaign.
As Diario AS recalls (via MilanNews), there was a bit of a circus surrounding the the Catalan coach. He had announced his farewell at the end of the season only to change his mind a few weeks later, then disagreements with the club led to his final farewell and he therefore put himself on the market.
The idea of hiring Xavi has been explored by both Milan and Manchester United. Both clubs have decided to move in a difference direction (only Milan officially, with Erik ten Hag expected to leave) and are looking for a replacement.
However, the Rossoneri are almost certain to go for Lille boss Paulo Fonseca even if the official announcement is still missing. In all this, Xavi also declined an offer to coach the South Korea national team.
