Barcelona president Joan Laporta has openly expressed his desire for Xavi to continue as the coach beyond this season, despite the manager's announcement of stepping down in the summer. The club's vice-president Rafa Yuste is also determined to persuade Xavi to reconsider his decision, as the board members want the Spaniard to stay.
As per Mundo Deportivo, the reason why the club wants Xavi to stay is because Laporta firmly believes in the Spaniards ability to mentor and develop young players, evident in his trust in talents like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. This trust has fostered a strong bond and commitment from the younger players, which Laporta believes has elevated the team's overall performance.
Furthermore, Laporta and the board appreciate Xavi's management of veteran players, leading to improved performances from players like Raphinha and Ferran Torres. Laporta's plan entails keeping Xavi until 2025, with hopes of acquiring Erling Haaland from Manchester City to bolster the squad after the club's financial status becomes better.
Will Xavi stay at the club after the 2023/24 season? Let me know your thoughts...
