Former Barcelona coach Xavi had the opportunity to work in Italy.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the Catalan recently received an invitation from Roma to take over the position of the dismissed coach Daniele De Rossi.

However, the specialist said "no," acting just like Stefano Pioli or Francesco Farioli did.

In the end, Roma had to choose a less renowned name and agreed with former Torino strategist Ivan Juric.

This summer, Xavi was linked with Milan, Ajax, Chelsea, and Man Utd, but so far he remains unemployed.
