Al Ahli's current coach, Matthias Jaissle, led the team to victory in the AFC Champions League. However, their league position is not as strong, which might lead to a change in leadership. The team's management is exploring options to strengthen their squad and improve their performance.

Xavi has a strong coaching background, having led Al Sadd to success in the past. His experience and reputation make him an attractive candidate for Al Ahli. However, the decision to join the team ultimately depends on his personal preferences and career goals.
