Xavi will not be in Barcelona at the end of the season

Sports Desk: Rumors that could lose the job were heard around! But before it actually took shape, Xavi Hernandez announced that he would no longer be in Barcelona at the end of the season. This former midfielder is voluntarily stepping down from the position of coach after the end of the contract, not dismissal.

Yesterday, Barca was knocked out of the title race by losing 5-3 to Villarreal. They are third in the table, 10 points behind leaders Real Madrid. After digesting that loss, Xavi announced his retirement.

Barca coach said, 'I belong to this club. I even prioritized the club more than myself. I've given everything I've got to make this club and the fans proud. I think the club needs a dynamic change. I believe for the sake of the players, they can be more independent. We play with a lot of anxiety. '

'For the good of the board of directors, it will be right for me to leave. I think I am doing the right thing. At Barcelona you always feel undervalued, abused - that's how the club works. It is difficult to deal with it mentally. I am a positive person, but my battery level is running low and at some point I realized that there is no point in being here. '

In the middle of the 2021-22 season, he left Qatari club Al Sadd and joined Barca. Seber, however, could not do much. But Barca tasted the league title under him in the next season. Retaining that title is not only difficult, but almost impossible. The Catalans left the Copa del Rey a few days ago. If it survives in the Champions League, the fans themselves are not very optimistic about the tournament.  

Even if a miracle happens, Xavi will stick to his decision. He said, 'Even if we win the Champions League, I will not change my mind. I will talk to the players tomorrow (today). Players will finally feel free. I did not take this decision influenced by money. My heart says this will be good for the club. I want to be the solution, not the problem. I want to stay like this until June. '
