Barcelona made a big change in their coaching team. Xavi, who has been leading the team, will step down after the game against Sevilla on Sunday. The club decided to let him go, and now they’re bringing in Hansi Flick, who used to coach Bayern Munich.
Xavi, who’s been with Barcelona for a while, got the news from the club president and another important person. Even though he had a contract until 2025, the club said goodbye. Xavi had said earlier this year that he was leaving, but then he changed his mind. But it seems recent talks about money troubles at the club didn’t sit well with the president.
Barcelona thanked Xavi for his work and said they’ll announce new plans soon. Flick, the new guy, led Bayern Munich to a big win in 2020. He’s been looking for a job since getting fired from coaching Germany in 2023.
Barcelona hasn’t been doing as well this season as they did before. They’re far behind Real Madrid in the league, and they got knocked out of the Champions League earlier.
Xavi has a long history with Barcelona, first as a player and then as a coach. He won titles for the team and helped them get back on track in the Champions League. But now it’s time for a new chapter for the team with Flick taking over.
