“I so much love Chelsea project” “Would love to become Chelsea head coach” – Former Barcelona coach reveals why he want to become Chelsea head coach
Former Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez has sent a message to Chelsea and the rest of the Premier League after admitting he would love to coach in the Premier League.
Xavi also hailed the Chelsea project under the new owners as a good project and admits he loves the passion in the Premier League.
Xavi told The Athletic: “There’s no hurry for me, but I’d like a good project. Like, ‘You have four years to work and make a project’. I’d love to work in the Premier League because I love the passion there. In Spain, it’s too much about the result.
“Look what has happened to Ancelotti and people criticising him. It’s not fair. He won 30 trophies in 10 years and he’s criticised like he’s not won anything. Valverde said it perfectly when he said: ‘If Ancelotti is criticised, what hope is there for the rest of us?’.
“But the pressure in Spain is difficult, especially at Barca and Madrid.
“Chelsea with Maresca. Good project. Arteta with Arsenal – it’s his sixth year with Arsenal and there were seasons when it was difficult, but his club trusted the process and continued. He’s doing well. That doesn’t happen in Spain.”
