Xavi Hernandez is reportedly angry over a statement by Barcelona Sporting Director, Eric Abidal, who said he never offered him a job as manager of the club.
Xavi who manages Al- Saad was widely touted as the replacement for Ernesto Valverde.
However, the club announced Quique Setien as new manager after Valverde was fired.
Abid said: “We had no offer for Xavi to become Barca coach. If he has one, let him display it because I have not seen it.
“The first meeting we had with Xavi, he pays attention, and told us his plan in the second meeting.
“The speculations in the media was more political than sporting and I do not do politics. I only discuss about football.
“My interests is the way a coach works, and different things came up apart from what we conversed with Xavi.
“Barca appointed Quique Setien for 2 years, and we believe in him alot.
“However the door is at all times open for Xavi to become the club’s manager, but I don’t know if I will be at Camp Nou, but Blaugrana always has the door open for the ex-player.”
