Destruction in Barcelona: Xavi leaves (photo)

This season will be Xavi's last on the Barcelona bench!

In his statements after the heavy defeat against Villarreal in Montjuïc with a score of 3-5, the Catalans coach explained that he made the decision to leave the team on June 30, considering that the situation with him at the helm of the team cannot change. .

The Barcelona legend returned as a coach to the Blaugrana in November 2021, and led the club to the championship last year, but there were more failures, which made him make this decision.

Especially this year, his team presents a very problematic image, and after the cup they are now out of the competition for the Spanish League title.

“On June 30 I will leave the team. It is a decision that we discussed with the president and the coaching staff. Barcelona needs a change of direction. As a fan of the team, I think the best thing is to leave the team on June 30. I believe this will help the change and I still believe that we can have a very good season.” I have to think about the team before myself,” said an emotionally charged Xavi, among other things in his remarks.

Only last September, Joan Laporta showed his support for Xavi by offering him a contract until 2025, but it seems that the cooperation between the two sides will be completed early. The question now is who will succeed Barcelona's current coach on the bench.
