Saudi club Ittihad searches for a new manager after firing Laurent Blanc on Sunday. The French coach lost his job because the team performed poorly this season. Spanish manager Xavi Hernandez leads the list of potential replacements for the vacant position. Journalist Matteo Moretto reports that Ittihad officials have started talks with the former Barcelona boss about joining the Saudi Pro League club.
The discussions between both sides continue as Ittihad evaluates multiple coaching options. Several other candidates remain under consideration for the managerial role. Xavi left Barcelona earlier this year and became available for a new challenge. The Saudi club wants to improve results after Blanc failed to meet expectations during his tenure.
