The footballers of “Barcelona” lost 3:5 in the Spanish championship game against the team “Valencia” on Saturday and are currently losing ten points against leaders “Real” Madrid.
Xavi made his decision before Saturday’s game, citing the need for a change in course and momentum.
“Working as Barcelona coach I feel like I’m not as respected as I should be. This is dragging me down and affecting my mental health and emotions to the point where I can’t continue. Those who are close to me know this well,” said the 44-year-old, the old coach.
At the beginning of the season, FC Barcelona extended Xavi’s contract until the summer of 2025 or the end of next season.
Xavi took over the helm of “Barcelona” in November 2021 and led the Barcelona team to the Spanish championship title last season.
As a soccer player, Xavi joined the “Barcelona” team in 1991 at the age of 11. He played more than 760 games in its composition, which is a record among all football players.
The Spaniard won the UEFA Champions League four times and the Spanish championship eight times with Barcelona. However, in 2015 he left the club to pursue his career in Qatar, where he worked first as a player in the Al Sadd team and later as a coach.
In addition, Xavi is the winner of the 2010 World Cup. The midfielder played 133 games in the Spanish national team, scoring 13 goals, two of them in games against the Latvian national team.
