The rumors have intensified in recent days, and they are now documented and official. This Friday afternoon, FC Barcelona announced the end of its collaboration with Xavi Hernandez in an official press release.
Determined to leave the club last February, the Catalan coach was finally convinced by his president Joan Laporta to continue the adventure next season. But ultimately, Barça’s management changed its mind again and decided to part ways with the former Catalan strategist.
“Today Friday, the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, informed Xavi Hernández that he will not continue as coach of the first team for the 2024-25 season. The meeting took place at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and was also attended by sports vice-president Rafa Yuste, sports director Anderson Luís de Souza, Deco, Xavi, Òscar Hernández and Sergio Alegre,” the club said on its official website.
Before continuing: “FC Barcelona would like to thank Xavi for his work as a coach, as well as his inimitable career as a player and team captain, and wish him every success in the world. Xavi Hernández will coach the team for the last time in Sunday’s match against Sevilla. Over the next few days, FC Barcelona will make an announcement regarding the new structure of the first team. »
