It’s now official, Xavi will no longer be the coach of FC Barcelona next season. The Spanish technician announced his departure and several players are digesting this news. Gavi has already thrown his support behind the former midfielder, and another player has tried to convince Xavi to stay on the bench, not least Robert Lewandowski.
Indeed, as relayed Mundo Deportivo, the 35-year-old center forward was very touched by this announcement and even considered it a personal failure. To the point where the former Bayern player spoke one-on-one with Xavi to persuade him to continue the adventure with the Blaugrana. But Xavi’s position is firm and he declined his proposal. Lewandowski apologized and stressed that the players were at fault in this situation.
