The legendary former midfielder of Barcelona – Xavi Hernandez, was presented today at the “Camp Nou” as the new coach of the Catalan club, where they hope to turn their bad luck around.
A bad start and the dismissal of Ronald Koeman left Joan Laporta without another option and after some difficult negotiations with Al Sadd, Xavi was finally brought.
Expectations are high, although it comes at a very difficult time, the most difficult for the club lately. Barcelona fans dream of a better edition of their team.
Xavi played for Barcelona from 1997 to 2015 and is one of the best and most trophy-winning players in the history of the club, and after the end of his football career, he started coaching. He led Al Sadd for the previous two years, with whom he was very successful.
– It is important to me that I know everything in the locker room, Busquets, Alba, ter Stegen and Pique played with me. It will be difficult, but I like challenges. I know it’s going to be hard, but I’m ready. The goal is to enjoy and have a good time. Thank you to the fans for their support – said Xavi and added:
– I returned here very quickly, my life changed in three days. The president called me and told me that I was “elected”. We have resolved everything around my arrival, expectations are high and results will be sought immediately. The goal is to get Barcelona back on the right track, to win and to enjoy. I hope to bring trophies here.
Xavi was greeted with applause by the fans at the stadium, who numbered 25,000. They waved Barcelona flags and chanted his name.
Xavi later told the fans that they needed them, in a difficult situation like this, in order to return Barça to the path of glory.
He is one of the best Barcelona footballers in history, and now he has become the coach, third this season, and the club is taking over in the most difficult moments.
Catalans have big financial, personnel and result problems.
