The president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, commented on the possibility of the legend of the club Xavi becoming the new coach.
After a series of bad results, the Catalan club sacked Ronald Koeman, and now the question remains who will succeed him.
The legend of Barcelona, Xavi, has crystallized as the main candidate in the media, but nothing is over yet.
- We had to react, it became unbearable. Maybe we should have fired Koeman earlier, but I take responsibility for that – Joan Laporta started.
- We are working on hiring a new coach. I won’t say what observations we have, it wouldn’t be professional. We don’t want to harm anyone.
Laporta also threw a review on the fact that Xavi will inherit the Dutchman.
- Xavi has recommendations from people who are close to him and who know him better than I do. We hear each other often. I know what he thinks about the team we have and what needs to be done. We talked during the election. But then I told him I wanted Koeman to finish his contract. What we are talking about now is private. One day, Xavi will be the coach of Barcelona. I would like that to happen while I am president, but I don’t know when – the first man of Barca concluded.
Who will be the new coach of the Catalan club?
