Xavi fired by Barcelona! There is an official announcement

For a long time, there have been rumors in the media about Xavi’s future at FC Barcelona. Even though at the end of April, president Joan Laporta declared that the coach would fulfill the contract that expires next year, the situation has recently changed. The club published an official statement on Friday announcing the final decision.

FC Barcelona ended the current season without a trophy. This is terrible news for both fans and the club’s authorities, who must make major changes to the team. After the April press conference with Xavi, it seemed that the coach would remain in office, which was declared by president Joan Laporta himself . As it turns out, everything has changed.

Xavi released from FC Barcelona. There is an official statement from the club

Before the league match against Almeria (2-0), Xavi took part in a standard press conference, during which he discussed many topics. However, he did not think through one statement. –  Barcelona fans must understand that the situation is very complicated. We are unable to compete economically. It has nothing to do with what we had 25 years ago – he said, answering the question whether FC Barcelona will be able to compete with Real Madrid next season .

His words upset the president, who quickly decided to part with the coach . There has been speculation in the media in recent days, while FC Barcelona has just announced that during a meeting in Ciutat Esportiva, Laporta told Xavi that he will not continue working with the team in the 2024/25 season. “FC Barcelona would like to thank Xavi for his work as a coach, and additionally for his unique career as a player and team captain. We wish him every success in the future,” we read in the official statement.

It was added that Xavi will lead the team for the last time in Sunday’s match against Sevilla, which will end this unsuccessful season for FC Barcelona . In the coming days, the club will announce information regarding the new structure of the first team. Everything indicates that Hansi Flick will become the new coach of FC Barcelona, ​​and he allegedly even accepted the terms of the contract .

There is no denying that this is excellent news for Robert Lewandowski, who worked with Flick in 2019-2021 at Bayern Munich. During this time, they both had the opportunity to celebrate, among others: twice the German championship, the national cup and, above all, winning the Champions League.
