Xavi Hernandez, the former Barcelona legend, ruled out coaching the Spanish club recently, noting that administrative problems are a reason for delaying the decision and preferring to stay in the Qatari dam.
Reports stated that Chafee refused an offer to train his former team last January when Ernesto Valverde was dismissed, and the position of the current coach, Quique Setien, does not seem safe, so the Catalan club may wish to renew its contacts with Xavi in the coming period.
The former Spain national team player pointed to some of the problems faced by club president Josep Maria Bartomeu, including the scandal of appointing an account monitoring company on social media and confusion over the issue of salary cuts last April.
"There is a lot of noise around the club and a lot of problems off the field, and I don't think it's the right time," Xavi told Akon magazine.
"In January, I informed them that the time was not right, and they have not contacted me since then," he added.
"I am happy to continue gaining experience and challenge myself, and of course it would be excellent to be coach of Barcelona one day."
Barcelona also called for a new contract for Lionel Messi, as the current contract expires next year, amid reports about the Argentine star's dissatisfaction with Bartomeu's management.
"Messi needs Barcelona and Barcelona need him. The club should make him happy because Messi, who is happy, will win titles. He did everything that Pele, Cruyff, Maradona and Ronaldo did, but in 15 years and in the modern era," Xavi said of Barcelona's historic scorer.
"(Messi) has amazing physical, tactical and technical levels and remains the best player in every match," he added.
