According to "Everything", former Barcelona coach Xavi is not in a hurry to pick up the coaching stick again. He plans to continue to take a year off. He hopes to find a new project that will inspire his enthusiasm.

Xavi ended his two-and-a-half-year term as Barcelona coach last summer. His departure process was full of twists and turns: he first expressed his intention to leave, and then was persuaded to stay, but was eventually fired. Despite not knowing what happened during this period, Harvey is far from meeting the respect he deserves as a club legend.

So Xavi has wisely chosen to stay away from the media focus and has hardly made public appearances over the past year except for occasional games with some Barcelona legends. From the perspective of the bystander, he enjoys the Barcelona game coached by Frick like an ordinary fan. The two met once in October, and Frick visited Harvey in person and thanked him for his work while on the team.

Xavi ended his last game at Barcelona with a victory in his away game against Sevilla on May 26, 2024. After that, he decided to take a year off. This is the first time he has completely escaped from the vortex of football since playing football. In his 143 games, Xavi has won 90 victories, 24 draws and 29 losses, and has also won the La Liga title and the Spanish Super Cup.

In 2015, he transferred from Barcelona to Alsade in Qatar, began his new player career, and immediately transformed into a coach. In November 2021, he returned to the Camp Nou to serve as Barcelona coach.

Harvey plans to use the year to spend time with family and friends and recharge. Next, he hopes to find a new program that will inspire his enthusiasm and return to coaching position. But he was not in a hurry to make a decision, and he rejected the invitations made by Juventus and AC Milan midway through the season.

According to Ass, Harvey may take another year off, an option that has become increasingly attractive over the past few months. Although he has considered clubs such as Manchester United, Ajax, Tottenham, Leverkusen, Riyadh Crescent, Miami International and Monterrey, he has never reached an agreement.

However, there is another alternative that has attracted Xavi's interest: becoming the national team coach with the goal of the 2026 World Cup. This will allow him to better balance his family life, which the club coach’s job will be difficult to achieve. Previously, he had received invitations from the Brazilian national team to serve as Titt's assistant and promised to take over the team after the World Cup.
