Xavi Hernandez reportedly having sleepless nights amidst Barcelona job rumours

Xavi Hernandez’s time as Barcelona’s manager is reportedly doubtful, with his camp hoping his stint ends soon as he struggles to sleep.

This comes less than three weeks after club President Joan Laporta expressed confidence in Xavi’s ability to make Barcelona competitive next season.

Despite nearly resigning in January, Xavi agreed to recommit to the club’s project.

However, recent reports from Football Espana indicate that the stress of the role has taken a major toll on his mental and physical health, with Xavi struggling to sleep at times.

The pressure peaked following a 4-2 defeat to Girona, which left Xavi particularly helpless.

He reportedly struggled to understand his players’ attitude and mistakes, without knowing where to come in and help.

Despite his public statements of energy and desire to continue, insiders believe that stepping down could be a massive relief for him.
