Xavi arrives in Qatar for discussions about coaching the national team

At present, Tintin Marquez is serving as the national coach, however, Xavi is in talks to potentially take over the position in the near future.

The FA does not feel that Tintin is getting enough out of the squad. In World Cup qualifying, Qatar is number four in its group, with the two best going directly to the final round.

Xavi previously gained coaching experience in Qatar, where he was in charge of Al-Sadd before moving to Barca.

At Al-Sadd, Xavi won seven titles.
