The trainer egarense, that has given back the illusion (and the titles) to the club, will follow to the control of the bench blaugrana until 30 June 2025.

It is a short renewal and that will be chord to the economic situation by which crosses the club. From the dispatches of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper do not have doubts on the one of Terrassa and, in fact, are convinced that it is the indicated to carry the reins of the team on a long-term basis, but are not in conditions to tie his future as they wanted to by the big existent difficulties with the Fair Play financial.

2026 it was not a realistic option for the Barça

According to a new information of the newspaper 'SPORT', that Xavi renewed by two seasons, until the summer of 2026, never was "a serious option" for the parts and understood that the best option was to have prudence and go negotiating year after year. Have in favour that are happy and, for the moment, does not foresee big changes.

To Deco will touch him, now, reflect the signature of Xavi in the new bond.
