The Truth About Al-Hilal’s Negotiations with Xavi Hernandez to Succeed Jesus

Reliable media sources, notably German journalist Florian Plettenberg, have revealed that Xavi Hernandez is close to taking over as coach of Al-Hilal Saudi Club next season, amid widespread fan anticipation.

This development comes after Al-Hilal’s management amicably ended its contractual relationship with Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, paving the way for a complete restructuring of the coaching staff.

Xavi is considered one of the most prominent young coaches in Europe, having made a clear mark with Barcelona, and is known for his innovative tactical style and ability to nurture talents on the field.

If he signs, it will be a calculated step within Al-Hilal’s strategy to regain dominance in local championships and achieve new continental successes.

Al-Hilal’s management is seeking to choose a technical leader with a comprehensive vision, especially after a season filled with challenges, as the team appeared to be underperforming under Jesus’s leadership, justifying the shift towards Xavi.
