Gabi played alongside and under the guidance of Xavi Hernandez at Al Sadd between 2018 and 2020.
He believes the Barca legend is a ready-made option to take over at Camp Nou.
“Xavi is passionate about football. He’s perfectly prepared to coach Barca. All the presidential candidates talk about him and count on him,” former Atletico Madrid captain Gabi Fernandez told El Larguero of Xavi Hernandez.
Gabi joined the Barcelona legend at Al Sadd in 2018. The pair shared the dressing room for one season before Xavi’s appointment as the club’s head coach in the summer of 2019. The ex-Atleti skipper went on to play under the guidance of the Catalan until his retirement the following year.
Xavi remains the hot favourite to replace Ronald Koeman in the Camp Nou dugout if Victor Font wins the upcoming presidential election.
