Results in the Champions League and El Clasico will play an important role for the future of the club
Barcelona is considering the option of extending cooperation with the head coach Javi. If this fails, the blue garnets will be led by a youth coach Rafael Marquez.
Recall that Xavi announced in January that he would leave the club at the end of the season. Blaugran’s management is working to convince the mentor to stay. The team’s results in the Champions League and the upcoming El Clasico will play an important role in Xavi’s decision. Also, the current mentor expects new investments in the development of the club.
If Xavi leaves the club, Marquez remains the only candidate for the post of head coach. The club’s management needs a mentor who is familiar with the Blaugrana Academy, the internal economic situation and has good relationships within the structure.
Barcelona have reportedly failed to make progress in negotiations with Roberto De Zerbi. As a result, the blue garnets ruled out the option of inviting an outside mentor.
Barcelona is in second place in La Liga. Xavi’s team will play in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with PSG on April 16. The Blaugrana will then face El Clasico with Real Madrid on April 21.
