There may have been several rumors about Xavi's future in recent times, but the decision made by the Barcelona coach seems final. In recent weeks, Xavi's name has been at the center of sports news!
The Barcelona coach has announced that after the end of the season he will leave the Barcelona club, however the rumors that are circulating speak of attempts by the president Joan Laporta to convince him to change his mind.
In fact, Mr. Laporta has the full support of all the members of the board of directors but of course also the Barcelona fans.
A while ago, the Catalan coach was asked, once again, about the possibility of his stay, but he was firm and emphasized that he is not going to change his mind.
"My decision to retire at the end of the season does not change. The decision I made has brought peace to the players, the club and even the press. However, I am not changing my decision," he said.

Xavi and Luis Enrique's press conferences were particularly interesting ahead of Paris Saint-Germain v Barcelona in tonight's UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg. The Parisian coach, surprisingly, claimed that he represented Barca's style better than Xavi.
A media distraction maneuver by the French team coach Xavi, for his part, hours later was full of praise for his former manager, even stressing that "Paris has a team made to win the Champions League".
Many focused on what this reunion between the coaches of the two teams would look like. Luis Enrique and Xavi met before the match in the bellows, just before the players entered the pitch and had the opportunity to talk. "I already said that I have a very good relationship with Luis, we were teammates, he was my coach. I think he's a fantastic person," Xavi said before the match.
