Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona confirmed the dismissal of Xavi Hernández like trainer of the first team, after several days 'marked' by the uncertainty and doubts. Joan Laporta has been the attendant to confirm to the of Terrassa that will not follow to the control, so alone four weeks after, in press conference, he ratified him in his charge by a season more, the 2024/2025. This last week has finished him condemning and confirmed during the afternoon of this Friday.

It is worth it to remember that all the 'chaos' in the Barça began, recently more than a week, when Xavi Hernández signalled in press conference that "the fan culé has to understand that the economic situation does not have at all that see with which there were 25 years backwards. The situation is difficult and complicated. Before the trainer said: I want to fichar to east, east and east... Now it is not like this. We are not in the situation of other clubs with better economic situation. They are not the same conditions of others, that have another fair play or situation. Like the Real Madrid and other European teams. The barcelonista has to understand it. This does not mean that we do not compete or want to struggle by the titles. We need time. There are good things to compete".

The statements gave beginning to the 'runrunes' inside the club on a supposed annoyance of Joan Laporta by the message of the trainer, that finally has confirmed . From there, Xavi has been asking a meeting to clear his situation and the directors gave him long to the subject... Until this Friday, in which it has lived a very moved day that finish with the announcement of the dismissal of the trainer.

Like this it lived the dismissal of Xavi like technician culé

The history began during the morning, with a message of the of Terrassa to the maximum Barcelona mandator in the middle of all the informations that suggested that the agreement with Hansi Flick is closed. According to Sportive World, wrote him "president, already is all decided?". It did not answer him the message and left directly to the Ciutat Sportive Joan Gamper, where was Xavi directing the penultimate session of training before visiting to the Seville in the last day of LaLiga.

When they finished, the technician was quoted for a meeting in which they also have been Rafa Yuste, economic vice-president, and Deco, sportive director. The meeting produced with "good environment of mutual respect and professionalism", in which the leader put all the letters on the table and explained the reasons that carried to take the decision of destituirle, four weeks after they ratified him in press conference.

To Xavi informed him that they consider that "it does not trust the current staff", according to Sportive World, and that thus the most logical was "to look for to another trainer that yes did it". In summary, understood that they were simpler to look for to a new technician that lose players and change the whole project, of agreement to his feelings. The answer of Xavi was that yes it trusted his changing room, but that "considered that it was necessary to do changes to improve the performance" of face to the next course. For Joan Laporta and company, in any case, the decision was taken and had not gone back backwards.

Without 'novelties' of the clear of Xavi

On the other hand, a point that did not mention in the meeting of this afternoon in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper has been the subject of the clear that it corresponds him to the egarense and his staff after having been sacked with a year of valid agreement. It is worth it to remember that, when he announced his resignation in January, did not correspond him, but when being destituido changes radically the history. Neither the leaders neither the trainer took out to the table this commonplace and everything seems to indicate to that will resolve in the next days with Fernando Adrets, representative, and Enric Masip and Joan Soler, like representatives of the sportive commission.
