MORE DETAILS OF XAVI’S GOODBYE
FC Barcelona has confirmed the dismissal of Xavi Hernández as first team coach, two and a half years after his ‘landing’ in Barcelona to replace Ronald Koeman, also dismissed (in November 2021) by Joan Laporta. The decision was communicated this Friday after the penultimate training session before visiting Sevilla for the last game of the season.
As several sources agree, agreement with the German to take the reins of the bench starting next season. The one from Terrassa, who had experienced eight days of uncertainty, wanted answers from the club.
New version of Xavi’s dismissal
Laporta, as has emerged, did not respond to the message and showed up at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. When he finished training, he called the coach into the offices. ‘Mundo Deportivo’ explained that Deco and Rafa Yuste, sports vice president, had also been present at the meeting, while ‘Tot Costa’, from Catalunta Radio, pointed out that Xavi asked that Yuste, Masip and Echevarría not be present.
The truth is that, in addition to what had been known before, that they had informed him that they considered that “they do not trust the current squad” and that therefore the most logical thing was to “find another coach who did,” the source mentioned above adds that they have informed the Barça coach that the main reason is the disagreement on the issue of departures this summer. Managers “do not buy” their planning.
Xavi’s reaction after his dismissal from Barça
On the other hand, the Egarense has expressed his displeasure at how his dismissal was handled. And we must not overlook the fact that, officially, Xavi was not told anything until now. Joan Laporta ‘avoided’ confronting him during this last week and all the information he had was received through the press. Despite that, on social networks he shared that “Before being a player or a coach, I am a Barcelona fan and I only want the best for the club of my life, which will always have me at its disposal.”
