Xavi Hernandez’s future as Barcelona manager has been a major talking point over the last few months, and especially so in recent days. In January, he announced his intention to stand down at the end of the season, but he now looks set to reverse that decision in order to stay on for the 2024-25 campaign.
Xavi’s future has looked more in doubt after a meeting with the Barcelona hierarchy on Wednesday. However, a secondary meeting appears to have been more fruitful, as MD are now reporting that the 44-year-old has reached an agreement to fulfil the remainder of his contract, which expires next summer.
The report goes on to say that Barcelona president Joan Laporta will make the news public on Thursday, at which point he will explain the decision-making process that took place during this tense situation. It seems that things will be coming to an end very soon.

Xavi staying for another season is a good news considering the challenges Barca as a club is facing now. I have been a Barcelona fan for over 35 years and I know my team very well. Fans trust me Xavi will be a good coach if only we were financially sound . Remember, Xavi is only working with the academy players except some few players who are matured and experienced enough to play competitive matches. Sometimes we need to sit down and put our leg in Xavis shoes that if it were to you coaching this Barcelona team will you be able to qualify from the group stages in champions League? City, Liverpool x Arsenal, Madrid, Bayern and some other great teams who are competing now do not rely on academy players alone . I know how our academy has been pivotal and good in this hard time but trust me they need a little experience and maturity to make some decisions when playing. Xavi leave! Xavi leave! let this coach take over , this and that ! Ok fine, how are going to pay such top coach or he will accept to reduce his pay. No ! not all.Xavi is a Barcelona product and knows more about the situation and accepted pay cut . Which coach will do that ? Let's support our own , let's support this team and coach for Barcelona will rise again. The downfall of a man is not the end of his life . I'm a pure curler, ( Forca Barca)

It's impossible to win laliga next season nor UCL. This is the bad time for Xavi, he is trapped by Laporta. Just think 🤔 Laporta won't provide any big signings to Xavi, lewa ferran cancelo felix these are bad players and won't perform. Xavi only have pedri yemal gavi cubarsi which can't play in every match. So if the players won't perform then fans will treat Xavi the same way they treat him this season. And the worst thing is Real Madrid will get Mbappe Alfonso Davies and that's something you don't want to face. Vini and Mbappe on the counter are monsters .... it's better if Laporta bring Thiago motta and make Xavi his assistant coach. Next season the pressure will be immense high, be ready Xavi.

Horrible decision tbh, a man that used sentiment to destroy a season. Benching Men that won u La liga last season over La masia graduates that ain't even productive. Ever since Yamal and Fermin hv been starting Lewandowski stopped scoring goals, ur top scorer that won u La liga. Lewandowski hv been left frustrated by his own squad, when Rafinha was there he linked up alot with him. Now it's just to give Yamal the ball, he runs runs yet no assist. When Messi was there Eto'o was scoring Goals, Suarez cos when ur a forward and the target man ain't scoring u literally doing nothing. Barca became so predictable, all they do is give Yamal the ball instead of Lewandowski who got u the league. Let's say he's just a boy growing but if this is the game plan next season it's more toxicity for Xavi.

He wants to leave because he can't take the pain of losing to the Blancos. You can't oppose nature.
