Postecoglou is still in contention to end the season with a trophy as Spurs are one game away from reaching the Europa League final.
However, the 59-year-old is under huge pressure due to Spurs’ woeful Premier League campaign where his side currently sit 16th in the table with 38 points from 35 games.
Xavi, meanwhile, U-turned on his decision to leave Barcelona last season but ended up being sacked in May after ending the campaign without a trophy.
The 45-year-old, who guided Barca to the La Liga title in 2023, is now among the favourites to succeed Postecoglou at Spurs and says he is keen on a move to England.
Xavi said in an interview with The Athletic as cited by Sports Central: ‘There’s no hurry for me, but I’d like a good project. ‘Like, ‘You have four years to work and make a project’. I’d love to work in the Premier League because I love the passion there. In Spain, it’s too much about the result. ‘Look what has happened to Ancelotti and people criticising him. It’s not fair. He won 30 trophies in 10 years and he’s criticised like he’s not won anything. Valverde said it perfectly when he said: ‘If Ancelotti is criticised, what hope is there for the rest of us?’.
He added: ‘But the pressure in Spain is difficult, especially at Barca and Madrid. ‘Chelsea with Maresca. Good project. Arteta with Arsenal – it’s his sixth year with Arsenal and there were seasons when it was difficult, but his club trusted the process and continued. He’s doing well. That doesn’t happen in Spain. ‘Or a national team, that would appeal. When I dreamed about being a coach, I dreamed about being in a World Cup or European Championship.’
