Chelsea have no ongoing talks with Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez over the head coach role, despite recent reports from the UK suggesting otherwise. The speculation had linked the former Barcelona boss with a potential move to Stamford Bridge ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n
According to Fabrizio Romano, there has been no contact between Chelsea and Xavi at this stage. The journalist clarified that the Spanish coach has not been approached by the club as they continue their internal process to appoint a new manager.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are currently working on a shortlist of candidates for the role. The club is expected to make a decision in the coming months, with the season nearing its conclusion. With less than a month remaining, Chelsea are operating under interim manager Callum McFarlane, who is overseeing the team until a permanent appointment is made.<\/p>\n
Xavi, who ended his tenure at Barcelona two seasons back, is open to taking up a new challenge. He is understood to be willing to consider opportunities in England as well as other leagues. However, no formal discussions have taken place with Chelsea so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
