Former French coach Arsène Wenger has been very supportive of the idea of Xavi continuing as Barca manager.
While Xavi had announced his departure from FC Barcelona at the end of the season, the situation could well change. According to the Spanish media, including Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan technician would consider reversing his decision. A choice that the former Culés metronome had announced following the defeat last January against Villarreal (3-5) in La Liga.
The president of the club, Joan Laporta, for his part, clearly expressed his wish to see Xavi continue the Barcelona adventure. Especially since he is not the only one to support this idea. Arsène Wenger, the former manager of Arsenal between 1996 and 2018, praised the work of the Catalan technician and said that he “did a good job” at Barça.
Wenger campaigns for Xavi
“He announced his departure too early in my opinions, declared the Alsatian for Bild. They had no luck against PSG, nor against Real Madrid, but they showed that they are growing as a team again. And when I think about the age of the players, they can only get stronger. I would like him to stay”
Despite this support, Xavi’s future on the Blaugrana bench remains uncertain. The final decision will be his. In the event of his departure, the former 2010 world champion will nevertheless leave behind the memory of a 2022-23 season marked by success with a Spanish championship title and a Spanish Super Cup.
