It seemed that such a turnaround could only happen if Barcelona advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League and won El Clasico.
Meanwhile, despite defeats against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, which meant that the Catalans would end the season without a trophy, Xavi and the club’s bosses sat down at the table and agreed to continue cooperation. It is to fulfill the contract valid until June 2025. Or maybe he will stay even longer.
Why will Xavi stay at Barcelona?
– There is unanimity in the management board that Xavi should lead the team. I want to develop a project based on my pupils. We trust him 100 percent. We want to create history again and we will do it, announces Barcelona’s vice-president Rafa Yuste and emphasizes: – We have never looked for a new coach.
This is surprising, because on Wednesday in some media – including: German – you could read that Hansi Flick was close to taking the job. The former coach of Bayern and the German national team apparently did not hide his surprise, although for several days it has also been said that Xavi is no longer so categorical about his future and will be ready for talks.
