Why I decided not to leave Barcelona – Xavi

Xavi Hernandez, the manager of Barcelona, has shared his reasons for choosing to remain with the La Liga team.

Xavi made his head coach resignation known in January. He will step down in the summer.

The 44-year-old announced his departure from the Nou Camp, even though he had a contract there through 2025.

Xavi, however, made a stunning U-turn on Wednesday and opted to remain at Barca after meeting with Joan Laporta, the club’s president, and other high-ranking executives.

The former midfield player for Spain has now explained his choice to stay with the team.

Xavi said, “I changed my mind because I really felt total confidence from the president, from the board and the players too. This project isn’t finished yet.

“Me, my staff, all together feel that we have strength to make important things together and continue this project.”
