A Fraudster Was Offered a Job in Saudi Arabia: What We Know

According to Fabrizio Romano, the legendary midfielder received an invitation from 'Al-Ittihad', which is looking for a new coach after the dismissal of Laurent Blanc. The French coach left the club after four matches in the Saudi Pro League, where the team was in third place in the table.

The team has three wins out of four matches, however, it lags behind the league leader 'Al-Nassr'.

Situation at Manchester United

Besides Xavi, Luciano Spalletti and Sergio Conceição are also being considered for the coach position. However, Romano reported that Xavi is happily considering the possibility of moving to the 'Premier League' and would be happy to lead 'Manchester United'. The team is experiencing tough times after a loss to 'Brentford' with a score of 3-1, which led to a drop to 14th place in the table.

"I never worry about my job – I’m not one of those people," said the coach after the loss.

Currently, Xavi is studying the Ukrainian Premier League and, according to Romano, is ready to move to 'United', despite the absence of European cups.

Ruben Amorim's Statistics at Manchester United

Let’s take a look at Ruben Amorim's statistics since his appointment as head coach of 'Manchester United':

  • Matches: 49
  • Wins: 19
  • Draws: 9
  • Losses: 21
  • Goals Scored: 95
  • Goals Conceded: 95
  • Average Premier League Rating: 1.03

Xavi began his coaching career in 2019, leading 'Al-Sadd'. He helped the club win the Qatar Cup twice and the Qatar Stars League in 2021. In 2021, he emotionally returned to 'Barcelona', replacing Ronald Koeman.

This situation with Xavi may lead to significant changes in the coaching staff both in Saudi Arabia and in England. For now, it remains questionable how the search for new coaches for 'Manchester United' will end, especially if the situation with Ruben Amorim does not improve. The team's fans are eagerly waiting for positive changes and the restoration of the club's competitiveness in the 'Premier League'.
