A few hours after Jürgen Klopp’s announcement, Xavi also declared that he would give up his apron at the end of the current financial year. A decision which comes on the sidelines of yet another disappointment for the Catalans against Villarreal (3-5) and in a bid to give new impetus to the reigning Spanish champion. If management now has a few months to find his replacement, Joan Laporta was quick to give his point of view on the announcement of the Spanish coach which surprised everyone.
“Xavi told me that he was going to leave at the end of the season, that he wanted to finish the season, and it was a formula that I accepted because it was he who proposed it to me: He is a Barcelona legend. He is an honest person who acts with dignity. He loves Barça. I accepted because I know that his commitment and that of his team will be maximum. The moment demands total unity. The situation is not pleasant for anyone”declared the president of the Blaugrana.
