FC Barcelona are at a turning point in their season. After another defeat against Rayo Vallecano Wednesday in Liga (1-0), Ronald Koeman was dismissed from his post by Joan Laporta . While waiting for the arrival of a new technician, it is Sergi Barjuan who is acting on the bench of Barça . Meanwhile behind the scenes, Barcelona leaders are said to be busy finalizing the return of Xavi , currently Al-Sadd coach to Qatar . The arrival of the former midfielder would even be almost complete …

Xavi made official on November 4?

According to AS information, the arrival of Xavi on the bench of Barça could be formalized from November 4, date on which the Spaniard should be released from his contract by Al-Sadd before flying to Barcelona . Thus, the interim Sergi Barjuan should still officiate next Tuesday against Dynamo Kiev , but also the following Saturday in Liga against Celta Vigo . Xavi could potentially be presented to supporters on Sunday 7 November or at the latest the next day. The Blaugrana legend and his staff should thus prepare for their new duties during the international break. Thus, Xavi could make his big debut as coach of Barça on November 20 in Liga , in the derby against Espanyol Barcelona .
