The Spanish newspaper Cadena Copé revealed the date of the upcoming session between coach Xavi Hernandez and Barca president Joan Laporta to decide the future of the Spanish coach.
The network confirmed that the meeting is scheduled to take place on May 25 or 26, that is, after the end of the Spanish League.
