Despite earlier speculation linking the Spanish tactician with a move to Stamford Bridge, the Blues are reportedly exploring three other candidates for the role.\n\nJacobs reported that Xavi, who left his position at Barcelona at the end of last season, was open to relocating to England and taking charge of the Premier League side. However, Chelsea's hierarchy has decided to pursue alternative options, leaving Xavi out of the running for the job.\n\nThe news comes amid Chelsea's ongoing search for a new manager following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino earlier this summer. The club has been linked with several high-profile names, but Jacobs' update suggests that Xavi is no longer a contender.\n\nXavi enjoyed a successful stint at Barcelona, guiding the team to the La Liga title in the 2022-23 season. His pedigree and tactical acumen made him an attractive proposition for Chelsea, but it now appears that the London club is looking in a different direction.\n\nThe identities of the three unnamed candidates have not been disclosed, but Chelsea's decision to pass on Xavi indicates a shift in their managerial shortlist. The club is expected to move quickly to secure a new boss ahead of the upcoming campaign.\n\nWhile Xavi had expressed a desire to test himself in English football, this particular opportunity has not materialized. The 44-year-old remains available and could be a target for other clubs in the Premier League or elsewhere.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Despite reports of Xavi's willingness to manage Chelsea, journalist Jacobs claims the club is focusing on three other potential managers. The former Barcelona boss will not be taking the reins at Stamford Bridge.","327184177281634305","326135625054949376","Premier League","0","2026-05-05T17:29:31Z","xavi-not-set-to-lead-chelsea-club-eyes-three-alternative-candidates-jacobs","Чемпионат.com","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6457460-havi-ne-vozglavit-chelsi-klubu-interesny-drugie-tri-kandidata-dzhejkobs.html","326257565195309056","Barcelona",[53,56,57,58,59,60,61,62],"326257812931874816","326222711682502656","326257546220277760","326222707169431552","326257537559040000","326257539962376192","326257545754710016",[54,64,65,66,67,68,69,70],"Stamford","England","Chelsea","Anderlecht","Benfica","Como","Newcastle","Xavi Not Set to Lead Chelsea, Club Eyes Three Alternative Candidates – Jacobs",[73,105,125,143],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":74,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":75,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":47,"matchId":48,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":76,"slug":77,"sourceName":78,"sourceURL":79,"teamId":80,"teamName":81,"teamIds":82,"teamNames":93,"title":104},"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",[80,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,57,92,59],"326222712496197632","326257565535047680","326257539542945792","326222712143876096","326257537596788736","326257590545682432","326257610309242880","326257747022581760","326257539333230592","326257661500723200",[81,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,65,103,67],"Netherlands","Real Madrid","Juventus","Portugal","FC Porto","Portland Timbers","Club Queretaro","Portimonense","AC Milan","Italy","Real Madrid and Juventus Enter Transfer Battle for Manchester City’s Reijnders",{"awayTeamId":80,"awayTeamName":81,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":106,"homeTeamId":107,"homeTeamName":108,"id":109,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":47,"matchId":110,"matchName":111,"publishedAt":76,"slug":112,"sourceName":78,"sourceURL":113,"teamId":80,"teamName":81,"teamIds":114,"teamNames":119,"title":124},"Manchester City's late 3-3 draw at Everton means they no longer control their Premier League title destiny.
