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.
