The Barça coach will be attending Spain-Germany and Qatar-Netherlands as ambassador for the 2022 World Cup
The coach of FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernández, landed yesterday in Qatar to exercise his role as ambassador of the World Cup 2022. The blaugrana coach was received as a true authority. An official car was waiting for him at the foot of the runway at Doha International Airport to transfer him directly to his hotel, without going through passport control or the terminal, where the media stood guard to see if we could press their impressions on this World Cup.
It was not possible. Xavi will spend six days in Qatar in which he will participate in various official acts. There will be time to hear him analyze the World Cup and, who knows, if he also talks about Barça and that winter market that will open at the end of the Qatari event. The Barça coach has traveled with his wife, Nuria Cunillera, and during his stay he plans to attend the Spain-Germany next Sunday (8:00 p.m.) and the Qatar-Netherlands on Tuesday 29 (4:00 p.m.)an already inconsequential meeting for the interests of the host, after their defeat against Senegal and the tie between the Dutch and Ecuadorians.
Xavi is an institution in Qatar, after passing through Al Saad, where he completed seven seasons, four as a footballer and another four as a coach. One of them, 2018-2019, started as a player and ended on the bench. His record includes 1 League, two Cups, 2 League Super Cups, 1 Super Cup and 1 League Cup, all of them as a coach. The man from Terrassa arrived at Al Saad in 2015, after putting an end to his stage with Barça and left in 2022 to return to the Blaugrana club as coach.
The Blaugrana coach has left his mark in Qatar, where he is a true idol, which is why yesterday he received the treatment that the authorities receive when they visit the country.
