Mourinho delivers worst news of the year to Xavi and Barcelona
Portuguese could become Barcelona and Xavi's new rival
Fate is always capricious, no doubt about it. Barça could be facing José Mourinho again very soon. It would be in the round of 16 of the Champions League, with the Portuguese coach at the helm of Napoli. This hypothesis seems to be gaining strength day by day, especially with the latest information linking the coach with the Neapolitan team.

After leaving Roma through the back door, Mourinho's destination seemed to be Saudi Arabia. However, according to The Times, the Portuguese would have rejected that offer with the intention of continuing to coach in Italy, specifically at Napoli.
The media even claims that Mou will meet later this week with the president of the club, Aurelio De Laurentiis, to discuss how their paths could cross. Despite the fact that Napoli will fight for the Italian Super Cup against Inter this Monday, the reality is that Walter Mazzarri is in a very delicate position, with the team in ninth place in Serie A.
