Former Barcelona boss Xavi Hernández is settling into life in the Netherlands with a surprisingly Dutch vibe.
- He spends his mornings cycling around Zeist’s campus, greeting players one‑on‑one and in groups.
- Training days are split into two sessions, each packed with tactical video work and on‑field drills.
- When veteran Dutch journalists fire blunt questions, Xavi answers in clear, friendly English, always with a smile.
- He doesn’t speak Dutch, so he skips local papers, radio, TV and social media, focusing instead on his inner calm.
- His close circle includes brother Óscar, assistant Sergi Alegre and fitness coach Pau Torres, who keep his routine smooth.
In short, Xavi is thriving by blending work, simple habits and a tight‑knit support team.
