Al Sadd has appointed former Barcelona and Spain midfielder
Xavi Hernandez as their new manager on a two-year deal.
Xavi, 39, made a record 767 appearances for Barca and 133
for Spain in his illustrious playing career before moving to the Qatari club in
2015 ahead of his transition into coaching.
He replaces Portuguese coach Jesualdo Ferreira, who left Al
Sadd after leading them to a 14th Qatar Stars League title.
Coming through Barcelona’s academy in 1998, Xavi soon became
the heartbeat of the team’s midfield, winning eight La Liga titles and four
Champions League crowns before joining Al Sadd.
Earlier this month Xavi, who also won the World Cup and two
European Championships with his country, announced he would retire at the end
of the season to pursue a career in coaching.
Al Sadd confirmed Xavi will take charge of the club’s
pre-season training camp in Girona from July 14-29.
