BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona president Joan Laporta says the club is considering other possible coaches besides former player Xavi Hernández to take over for the fired Ronald Koeman. Laporta has faced a barrage of questions about the widespread speculation linking Xavi to the position. He has lauded the former midfielder each time while not revealing details of the job hunt.
