Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi is the early frontrunner to replace Xavi and take over as Barcelona manager at the end of the season, according to Marca’s Luis Rojo.
After the Catalan giants lost an eight-goal thriller at home to Villareal to slip 11 points behind surprise La Liga leaders Girona, Xavi announced he would leave when the current campaign draws to a close, saying “the club needs a change of dynamic.”
