On the evening of May 24, Beijing time, Barcelona officially announced that the team's head coach Xavi will leave the team after the season and will no longer serve as the head coach. This weekend's final La Liga game will be Xavi's last game in charge of Barcelona.

This is Xavi's third year in charge of Barcelona, and after his first year in charge, Xavi led Barcelona to regain the La Liga title and the Spanish Super Cup last season; However, after a lot of reinforcements in the summer window last year, Barcelona's form and results this season did not rise but declined, and the league was thrown away by Real Madrid early, and the Super Cup was also beaten by Real Madrid. Xavi announced his resignation in his post-match press conference after Barça's 4-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final in January, followed by a 4-2 Copa del Rey quarter-final defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-finals.

Unexpectedly, after Xavi announced his departure, Barcelona's form rebounded, unbeaten in 13 consecutive games in all competitions, and eliminated Napoli in the quarterfinals of the Champions League to reach the quarterfinals. On April 25, Barcelona held a press conference to officially announce Xavi's stay, and Laporte even hugged Xavi and said that he would continue to support Xavi.

However, things turned around again, as Xavi spoke about the club's poor financial situation ahead of the 36th round of the league game against Almeria, and argued that with Barca's current situation, not only will they not be able to compete with other strong teams, but they will not be able to return to their previous peaks. Xavi's remarks also directly led to Laporta's dissatisfaction, and then many Spanish media reported that Xavi would be sacked, and Laporte immediately asked Deco to find a new manager.

It is reported that on the morning of May 24, local time in Spain, Xavi originally led the team to train as usual, but in the middle of the training, Laporta came to the base to meet with Deco, and then the club's vice president Yuster joined the meeting, and it was in this meeting that Xavi learned that he was fired. Subsequently, Barcelona officially issued an announcement announcing Xavi's departure at the end of the season; According to statistics, since Xavi took office, Barcelona have scored 226 points in La Liga, scored 196 goals and conceded 86 goals, which is only 5 points less than Real Madrid in La Liga during the same period. Former Bayern coach Flick will take over as Xavi, and a "1+1" contract has been finalized between the two sides.
