Xavier "Xavi" Molist Berga (born 6 February 1977) is a Spanish football manager and former player who played as a forward. He is the current manager of UE Sant Andreu.

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Girona, Catalonia, Molist began his career with AEC Manlleu before moving to FC Barcelona in January 1995. Initially assigned to the C-team, he made his professional debut with the reserves on 18 November 1995, in a 3–2 Segunda División home loss to Deportivo Alavés.

Molist became a regular starter for the B's during the 1997–98 season, and subsequently served loan stints at Swiss side Neuchâtel Xamax FC and CD Logroñés. He left Barça in September 2000,[1] and joined CE Sabadell FC in Segunda División B the following month.

Molist agreed to a contract with CD Badajoz in the second division in 2001, and was a regular starter for the club in his first season. He left for Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the third tier in January 2003,[2] but returned to division two in July after signing for Terrassa FC.[3]

Molist moved to CD Castellón in the third tier in January 2005,[4] and helped in the side's promotion to the second division before joining FC Cartagena.[5] He signed for fellow third division side CF Badalona in 2008, but suffered an Achilles tendon injury which sidelined him for nine months.[6]

Molist returned to Terrassa in 2010, with the club now in the fourth tier. He left the club on 15 February 2013,[7] and joined Primera Catalana side UA Horta four days later.[8]

Molist announced his retirement in June 2014, aged 37, after featuring in nearly 700 official matches.[9]

Managerial career

[edit]

Immediately after retiring, Molist became manager of the Juvenil side of his last club Horta. He took over the first team squad in 2015, and led the club to a promotion to the fourth tier in 2017.[10]

On 12 June 2017, Molist was appointed manager of CE L'Hospitalet in the fourth division.[11] He was sacked on 7 April 2019,[12] before taking over Terrassa on 4 June.[13]

Dismissed by Terrassa on 29 December 2020,[14] and spent more than a year without a club before being named at the helm of UE Sant Andreu on 28 February 2022.[15] He renewed his contract for a further year on 6 April,[16] and agreed to a new one-year extension on 15 June 2023, after achieving promotion to Segunda Federación.[17]
