Barcelona club president Joan Laporta is angry with the team’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, after his statement at the press conference the day before yesterday regarding the match against Almeria in the Spanish League.
Blaugrana president Joan Laporta feels a state of extreme anger towards Xavi Hernandez, the team’s coach, during the current season. Laporta’s anger comes due to Xavi Hernandez’s talk about the economic situation and financial conditions within the club.
Xavi said in the press conference: The team must have financial stability because conditions are not what the club was 25 years ago.
He continued: We are trying to compete with Real Madrid even though the economic situation is very difficult, and it has nothing to do with what it was. Now we are not in the same circumstances with the clubs that enjoy better fair play. The fan must know the matter.
He added about the upcoming summer deals that the president and Deco are positive, but the economic issue will have the biggest say, and sources close to Laporta, president of the Catalan club, confirmed that Xavi will not be the team’s coach next season.
According to information received from the Catalan newspaper “Sport”, Laporta decided to dismiss Xavi at the end of the season and is currently communicating with the distinguished German coach Thomas Tuchel, at a time when Tuchel announced his final departure from Bayern Munich.
The newspaper added that Laporta is confident in the German coach’s ability to put things back in order in Barcelona, and that the coach wants to train Barcelona strongly, which will facilitate Barcelona’s task of contracting with him.
