On Friday, Barcelona president Joan Laporta ended coach Xavi Hernandez’s career with the team, and reports revealed that German Hansi Flick is the closest to taking over technical responsibility.
\nA Spanish press report revealed the real reason behind the decision to dismiss Xavi Hernandez from leading Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Barcelona has officially announced the decision to leave Xavi Hernandez as coach of the Catalan team after the end of the current sports season.
\nThe Spanish newspaper \u201cSport\u201d reported that Xavi\u2019s entourage confirms that his departure has nothing to do with his statements during the Almeria match conference, but rather the reason is differences in sports planning.<\/p>\n
The Spanish newspaper reported, for example, that Xavi does not want Polish striker Robert Lewandowski to continue, which is confirmed information.
\nThe same source indicated that the Catalan club claims that Xavi does not want Ronaldo Araujo and Joao Felix, and believes that Lewandowski no longer provides the required addition, and that Joao Felix is not part of his plans with the team, and Araujo caused the collapse of Barcelona\u2019s season, as Xavi described, after he was preoccupied with the offers presented to him.<\/p>\n
The source pointed out that sporting director Deco agreed with Xavi on many decisions, while the club\u2019s management wanted to control the transfer process without taking an opinion. The trio also recommended to Laporta to dismiss Xavi if he wanted Barca to succeed in the next season, which Laporta did in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
