One month after Xavi said he'd continue as Barcelona's coach, the club told the former midfield great it did not want him back.
First, he wanted out. Then he wanted to stay. Finally, Barcelona decided enough is enough and parted ways with coach Xavi Hernandez. One month after Xavi said he would continue as coach despite a disappointing season, the club told the former midfield great it did not want him back. In the latest and most likely final twist to a bumpy season, Barcelona announced on Friday that it was making a coaching change for next season.
'This season has not gone the way we would have liked, but we gave it our all and helped foster a new generation of players from La Masia that have thrilled our fans.' Spanish and German media speculated former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick as Xavi’s replacement. As a player, Xavi left Barcelona in 2015 after helping the club win 25 titles, including four Champions Leagues and eight Spanish leagues.
