  • Xavi reveals decision after controversial defeat by Villarreal
  • ‘This will ease the tension – I don’t want to be a hindrance’
After announcing his resignation as Barcelona's coach at the end of the current campaign, Xavi Hernández claimed to have felt "liberated" from a position he had described as "cruel and unpleasant."

Despite the fact that his contract is valid until the next summer, he will not be staying on after June 30 of this year. As the club continues to struggle with performance and results, the former captain, midfield icon, and football ideologue stated that the team required a "change of direction" and that he could "not allow the situation to continue." He described the choice as "common sense" and claimed that, in his opinion as "a Barcelona fan," he was leaving on "the right foot."
"You frequently feel like there is a lack of respect and that your work is not valued," Xavi remarked. It severely depletes your energy, mood, emotional condition, and mental and physical well-being. Although I consider myself to be a positive person, there comes a point where you say something doesn't make sense. There's no point in carrying on. That's my explanation for it.

"Those closest to me are aware that I made this decision some time ago. I believe that the club is now impacted by this circumstance. Although it impacts me, I believe I must leave the club when it does.

After a 5-3 home loss to Villarreal left Barcelona 10 points behind league leaders Real Madrid, Xavi confirmed the news in a "human" meeting with the club's president, Joan Laporta. However, he disclosed that he had made the choice a few days prior. Even if Barcelona won the Champions League, Xavi claimed that he would not play on, saying he had not informed the players, who had been playing with "too much tension." He said there would be no issues with his contract.

Barcelona's midweek 4-2 loss to Athletic Bilbao eliminated them from the Copa del Rey. That outcome came after Madrid defeated them 4-1 in the Spanish Super Cup final. They

Xavi finally made an appearance in the press conference room on Saturday night, more than an hour after the last whistle. He declared, "I would like to announce that I will not be continuing as coach of Barcelona as of June 30." We have been in communication with the president, vice president Rafa Yuste, adviser Alejandro Echevarria, sporting director Deco, and a member of staff.

“The situation needs to change and as a cule [a Barcelona fan] I can’t allow this. I took this decision days ago, but it is time to make it public. I don’t want to be a problem for the club. [I am] thinking about the club, the good of the players, and the directors. As a club man, I think the best thing to do is go on 30 June. I will give my best in these four months; I still think we can complete a great season. I take this decision calmly; it’s common sense.”

Xavi took over from Ronald Koeman in November 2021 and led Barcelona to the league title last year, in his first full season, but their performances and results have been poor this season. He said he did not have an explanation for that. He also noted that journalists had previously asked him if he could become Barcelona’s own Alex Ferguson and continue in the post for many years; “but that’s impossible here”, he concluded.
