After FC Barcelona’s defeat against Villarreal (3-5), Saturday evening in Montjuïc, Xavi, completely disillusioned, announced his departure at the end of the season.
It’s already the end of a cycle at Barça. Champion of Spain but unconvincing in the game last year, Xavi’s team presents an even worse face this season. In this insoluble situation, the 44-year-old coach announced his departure at the end of the season. It is also not impossible to see Joan Laporta change coaches quickly given the fatalism of the club’s emblematic environment.
“ I don’t want to be a problem for the club and the best solution is to leave. I was the solution two years ago, but now leaving is the best solution. Barcelona is above everything and I’m leaving because I love Barcelona “, launched Xavi in the wake of the defeat against Villarreal (3-5) at the Lluis-Companys Olympic Stadium, three days after an elimination in the Copa del Rey against Bilbao.
Xavi had already said last week that he would leave his post if his team did not win any titles in the spring. He confirmed this Saturday that he would leave whatever happened, even if he won the Champions League (the round of 16 offers a shock against Napoli)… FCB now finds itself 10 points behind Real Madrid, current leader of the Spanish ranking.
