Xavi Hernández to Depart as FC Barcelona Head Coach; Hansi Flick Set to Take Over
In a surprising turn of events, FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta has informed Xavi Hernández that he will not continue as the first team coach for the 2024-25 season.
The announcement was made today, Friday, marking the end of Xavi’s tenure at the helm of the Catalan giants.
Xavi, who was directly informed of his dismissal by Laporta, will be stepping down after a period of mixed results and growing speculation about his future with the club.
Despite his efforts to stabilize and rejuvenate the team, the decision has been made to seek new leadership.
The man set to replace Xavi is Hansi Flick, who is reportedly waiting for the formal documents before signing on as the new head coach of FC Barcelona. Flick, highly regarded for his previous successes, is the preferred choice of Joan Laporta to lead the team forward.
Flick’s appointment is expected to bring a fresh perspective and renewed ambition to the club, as Barcelona aims to reclaim its status as a dominant force in European football.
The official confirmation of Flick’s role is anticipated soon, as the club prepares for a new chapter under his guidance.
