Will he return to work? The team that dreams of signing Xavi Hernández

Juventus is going through a challenging season that could mark the end of Thiago Motta’s time in charge of the club. Despite being one of the biggest teams in Europe, this season has been full of setbacks, both in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League, where an early exit to PSV Eindhoven left the club’s directors searching for an urgent change to revitalise the team.

Amidst this uncertainty, one name has started to gain serious traction in Juventus' boardrooms: Xavi Hernandez. The current manager of FC Barcelona, known for his tactical vision and ability to manage large squads, has become the ideal candidate to take over a team in need of an overhaul.

Xavi has proven himself as a leader at a top-level club, not only winning titles but also playing a key role in the club’s generational transition, bringing Barcelona into a new cycle. His emphasis on possession-based football and his knack for getting the best out of young players have put him in a prominent position within European football. His potential arrival at Juventus would generate high expectations, as the Italian club is looking for someone capable of returning the style and competitiveness that they were known for in the past.

Thiago Motta’s situation, whose future seems uncertain, has opened the door for a managerial change at Juventus. Decisions that initially seemed firm are now under review. The team has faced too many ups and downs, and with Xavi Hernandez potentially coming in, Juventus’ directors hope to steer the club back to stability and restore the expected performance of a club of its stature.

With his experience and football philosophy, Xavi could be the right man to take on this challenge and bring Juventus back to the top of European football. However, the question remains whether the Catalan coach will accept this challenge or if his future will stay tied to FC Barcelona, where he continues to be a pivotal figure in their long-term project.
