5 Potential Successors to Xavi Hernandez at Barcelona: Who is Worthy to Replace the Club Legend?

Mikel Arteta is a name that was widely associated with the position at Barcelona in the early days when news of Xavi's resignation emerged. The manager who is currently in charge of Arsenal is quite familiar with the situation of the Catalan club because he studied at the Barca academy and played for the Barcelona B team.

Arteta himself actually dismissed reports of his closeness to the position of Blaugrana coach. Even so, it is claimed that the top officials of the Catalan giant team are still impressed with the coach's performance while coaching his team at the Emirates.

Meanwhile, Arteta is quite skilled at bringing Arsenal to challenge for the Premier League title in the last few seasons. Under his concoction, the Gunners dominated the top of the 2022/2023 Premier League standings for a long time, before finally being overtaken by Manchester City.
