Surprise name emerges as Xavi’s successor at Barcelona
As Xavi Hernandez gets ready to say goodbye to Barcelona by the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, there’s heightened speculation surrounding who will take over his role, with an unexpected candidate coming to the forefront.
The recent setback in the Champions League for Barcelona, despite initially leading by two goals against Paris Saint-Germain, has emphasized the necessity for reform. The pivotal moment in the match, marked by Ronald Araujo’s dismissal, shifted its course, leading to another disappointing elimination from the top-tier European tournament.
Rafa Marquez in line to replace Xavi at Barcelona
Barcelona’s recent setbacks in the Champions League have been characterized by notable collapses or humbling defeats, underscoring the persistent challenges confronting the Catalan club.
With Xavi possibly on the brink of departure, Barcelona encounters yet another obstacle at a pivotal moment. Prospective candidates like Thomas Tuchel and Hansi Flick might show reluctance due to the club’s considerable financial limitations, further complicating an already precarious situation.
Despite the financial constraints impeding substantial investments in the transfer market, ESPN has disclosed that Barcelona is contemplating elevating Barca B coach Rafa Marquez as a prospective successor to Xavi.
Marquez, who previously shared the pitch with current sporting director Deco and Xavi, was initially overlooked by Deco earlier in the season.
Nevertheless, given the current circumstances facing the club, Marquez could emerge as Barcelona’s top choice. Although the club remains hopeful of convincing Xavi to remain, the probability of his departure appears to be growing.
