    It had been quite a season for Xavi Hernandez who had recently changed his mind about leaving the club after he had decided to resign as the manager of the club at the end of the season.

    The former Barcelona captain announced that he would be stepping down in January after a shocking 5-3 loss to Villarreal.

    After Xavi Hernandez announced he was going to resign, Barcelona went on a fine run of form which saw them reach the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League but were eventually knocked out by Paris Saint Germain.

    The Club posted this statement on their website;

    Today Friday, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has informed Xavi Hernández that he will not be continuing as first team coach in the 2024-25 season. The meeting happened at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and was also attended by sporting vice-president Rafa Yuste, director of sport Anderson Luís de Souza, Deco, Xavi, Òscar Hernández and Sergio Alegre. FC Barcelona wishes to thank Xavi for his work as coach, as well as for his inimitable career as a player and as team captain, and wishes him every future success in the world. Xavi Hernández will be coaching the team for the last time in Sunday's game away to Sevilla. During the course of the next few days, FC Barcelona will be making an announcement regarding the new first team structure.  


    According to rumours, Xavi Hernandez is being sacked because he disclosed the club's financial issues that could see them struggle next season to reporters which made club President Joan Larpota very unhappy. 

    The Former Bayern Munich and Germany national team manager Hansi Flick is the top candidate to replace Xavi Hernandez as the next Barcelona manager.

    Xavi Hernandez led Barcelona to their first Laliga title last season, this was the club's first league title without Lionel Messi since 1999. Xavi Hernandez replaced Ronald Koeman in 2021.

    Due to their lack of consistency and form in this campaign, Barcelona failed to challenge Real Madrid for this season's Laliga title which saw them win it with a few games to spare.
