According to "Daily Sports" report, the Russian team Spartak Moscow previously wanted to invite former Barcelona coach Xavi to coach, but the latter refused.

Since leaving Barcelona in June 2024, Xavi has still not found a new coaching job. Despite being linked with a number of clubs in recent months, including Manchester United, Ajax and Jeddah United, he is still waiting for a project that suits him.

The article revealed that the latest team to invite Xavi is Spartak Moscow. The Russian club wanted to form an ambitious new project and saw Xavi as the ideal manager. Current coach Stankovic is on the verge of dismissal.

However, Spartak Moscow was rejected by Harvey, and the project failed to attract him.
