Xavi is “fully focused” on his job in charge of Al Sadd despite being linked with the vacant Barcelona manager’s job, claim the Qatari side.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta said he is in contact with the 41-year-old former Barca midfielder following the sacking of Ronald Koeman on Wednesday.
Koeman was dismissed after a 1-0 away defeat by Rayo Vallecano.
But Al Sadd tweeted: “Xavi has a two-year contract and is fully focused on the team’s upcoming matches.”
Xavi is favourite to replace Koeman and Laporta said: “I have always said one day [Xavi] will be Barca’s head coach but I don’t know when.
“We have great references about Xavi at Al Sadd. All our reports about Xavi are positive.
“We can talk a lot about Xavi, but I cannot give you more details. He is in all the papers, but we also have other options.”(BBC)
