Barcelona manager Xavi will stay on and continue his duties at the dugout of the Catalan side after he reversed his decision to resign on Wednesday.
Recall that the Spaniard announced months ago that he would be leaving his role as gaffer at the end of the ongoing 2023-24 campaign after the Blaugrana’s 3-5 loss to Villarreal.
However, Xavi has made a u-turn on his decision following a final meeting with the club’s board members as plans are already in place for next season.
Following an initial face-to-face meeting between Xavi and club director Deco prior to now, present in the Wednesday’s meeting was Barcelona president Joan Laporta, Deco, Echevveria, also inclusive was vice president Rafa Yuste.
All parties were also present at president Laporta’s house to celebrate the continuity.
Speaking after all the developments, Yuste said:
“Xavi trusts our project. We can do great things together”.
“We need to win titles, we all know that. We trust Xavi for that, he’s a proper Barça guy. He will be part of new Barcelona in the new Camp Nou”.
Barcelona will definitely now be working on new incomings with Xavi – as Bernardo Silva has been highly mooted to join the side.
