One of those on the company’s list is Xaviwho announced towards the end of January that he will leave the Barcelona. An announcement that had stunned clubs, players and fans. Despite the decision communicated at the time, the possibility has recently emerged that the former midfielder will remain at the helm of the Blaugrana team.

Xavi, the announcement is here

According to what was explained by Sports.e.galthough the hypothesis of a permanence had regained momentum, Xavi was still far away to continue being the coach of Barça. Management was starting to lean towards a change, even though there was no final decision yet. Some figures who seemed in favor of his confirmation have changed their minds after the elimination in the Champions League at the hands of PSG.

On Wednesday afternoon from 5.30pm, a meeting with protagonists took place at the Ciutat Esportiva Xavi and sporting director Deco. The conversation lasted just over an hour, then the two went separately to the president’s house Joan Laporta. Rafa Yuste and Alejandro Echevarria were also present. Although some differences emerged during the discussion with Xavi, who was asked to change some elements of the technical staff, the parties eventually came to an agreement to continue together. In the next few hours Laporta will speak publicly.

In the event that it came to separation, Barcelona had thought about Rafa Marquez, coach of the Blaugrana B team. The Mexican has a contract expiring at the end of June and was waiting for clarity to be made to evaluate whether to stay or try another experience. There were other hypotheses for Barça Thomas Tuchel And Hansi Flick both German and with cups on the board.

As for Xavi, the Milan he seemed to have taken him into consideration and was one of the “heaviest” names associated with the Rossoneri bench. In Catalonia he won some trophies and could have been a good choice for the post-Pioli team. He knows how to work with young people and convey game ideas. He hasn’t coached for many years and therefore also has limits that he has to work on, but the potential is good and with further experience he will be able to complete himself as a coach. He will continue his work at Barcelonarespecting the current contract expiring in June 2025.
