The Catalan tactician's admission comes as the Blues continue their search for a permanent replacement after sacking Liam Rosenior last month.\n\nXavi, who led Barcelona to a La Liga title in 2023, has been out of work since leaving the Camp Nou earlier this year. Now, he has signaled his willingness to return to management, with Chelsea emerging as a potential destination. The 44-year-old is widely regarded as one of the finest midfielders of his generation and has been building a coaching career since hanging up his boots.\n\nChelsea's decision to part ways with Rosenior was unexpected, given that the former Hull City boss had only been appointed on an interim basis. However, the club's hierarchy deemed it necessary to find a long-term solution after a mixed run of results. The Blues are now casting a wide net in their search, with several high-profile names linked to the role.\n\nAmong the contenders, Xavi stands out due to his tactical acumen and pedigree. His style of play, rooted in the possession-based philosophy he learned at Barcelona, could align with Chelsea's ambition to dominate games. However, the challenge of managing in the Premier League, with its intense pace and physicality, would be a new test for the Spanish tactician.\n\nWhile Xavi's interest is clear, Chelsea have not yet made an approach. The club's owners are reportedly taking their time to evaluate all options, aware that the next appointment will be crucial to their long-term vision. Other names in the frame include former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann and Sporting CP's Ruben Amorim, but Xavi's availability and willingness make him a strong candidate.\n\nFor now, Chelsea fans will have to wait and see if the Barcelona legend becomes the man to lead them forward. With the summer approaching, the club is expected to accelerate the process and make a decision before pre-season begins.\n\nBased on reporting from Mirror - Football.","news","Barcelona legend Xavi has admitted he would like to manage Chelsea, who are searching for a permanent head coach after parting ways with Liam Rosenior last month.","327116225626771457","326135625054949376","Premier League","0","2026-05-05T13:14:25Z","xavi-expresses-interest-in-chelsea-managerial-role-following-rosenior-s","Mirror - Football","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mirror.co.uk\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews\u002Fxavi-next-chelsea-manager-rosenior-37112343","326257546220277760","Chelsea",[53,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66],"326257565195309056","326257812931874816","326257545754710016","326257554411753472","326257556324356096","326257613643714560","326257636301344768","326257537831669760","326257808125202432","326222707169431552","326222712496197632",[54,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78],"Barcelona","Stamford","Newcastle","Newcastle Jets","Newells Old Boys","Hassania Agadir","Arema FC","Sporting CP","Hull City","Anderlecht","Netherlands","Xavi Expresses Interest in Chelsea Managerial Role Following Rosenior's Dismissal",[81,113,133,153],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":82,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":83,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":47,"matchId":48,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":84,"slug":85,"sourceName":86,"sourceURL":87,"teamId":88,"teamName":89,"teamIds":90,"teamNames":101,"title":112},"Reports from England indicate Manchester City midfielder Reijnders could be on the move this summer, sparking a transfer tug-of-war between Real Madrid and Juventus for the 27-year-old Dutchman.","327184844788338689","2026-05-06T02:25:04Z","real-madrid-and-juventus-enter-transfer-battle-for-manchester-city-s-reijnders","Fútbol","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Freal-madrid\u002F20260505\u002F1004179159\u002Fbatalla-real-madrid-juventus-jugador-city.html","326257546258026496","Manchester City",[88,66,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,65],"326257565535047680","326257539542945792","326222712143876096","326257537596788736","326257590545682432","326257610309242880","326257747022581760","326257539333230592","326222711682502656","326257661500723200",[89,78,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,77],"Real Madrid","Juventus","Portugal","FC Porto","Portland Timbers","Club Queretaro","Portimonense","AC Milan","England","Italy","Real Madrid and Juventus Enter Transfer Battle for Manchester City’s Reijnders",{"awayTeamId":88,"awayTeamName":89,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":114,"homeTeamId":115,"homeTeamName":116,"id":117,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":47,"matchId":118,"matchName":119,"publishedAt":84,"slug":120,"sourceName":86,"sourceURL":121,"teamId":88,"teamName":89,"teamIds":122,"teamNames":127,"title":132},"Manchester City's late 3-3 draw at Everton means they no longer control their Premier League title destiny.
