Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed he would work hard to convince and would love to see Xavi Hernandez stay on as manager of the Catalan giants.
Recall that the former Barcelona captain announced his decision to step down as gaffer of the reigning Spanish champions at the end of the ongoing 2023-24 campaign.
However, Laporta is of the opinion and is willing to convince Xavi to remain at the club but understands the ultimate decision still stands with the manager.
Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Laporta said: “I’d really, really, really like Xavi to change his mind and stay as Barça manager.
“I won’t put pressure on Xavi. It depends on him, he’s aware of my desire for him to stay here.
“We will see at the end of the season”.
Barcelona will face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League and are still favoured to finish in the top four in LaLiga after last weekend’s 3-0 win at Atletico Madrid.
Although, the odds to defend their crown seems a bit gloomy as they sit third and are still points adrift of runaway leaders, Real Madrid.
