The Catalan giants have announced that 44-year-old Xavi will continue as the coach of the Barça first team, despite previously expressing his intention to leave. President Laporta shared the news and expressed Xavi’s joy in continuing to lead the team, highlighting his ambition. Xavi took over as the Blaugrana boss in 2021, succeeding Ronald Koeman during a challenging period for the club.
This decision comes after the Spanish tactician had initially stated in January that this would be his final season in charge. President Laporta stated, as reported by *Barca Centre*, that it was his pleasure to inform everyone about Xavi’s continuation at the helm of the project, emphasizing the positive outcome of their discussions. The news of Xavi staying on is viewed as very good for the club, with a focus on his continued commitment to the interest of Barça.
