Coach Blaugranas gave a speech about the club’s limited finances
Mentor Barcelona Xavi may still be unemployed this summer.
The decision to fire the coach was made by the club president Joan Laporta. Spanish media report that the catalyst for this decision was Xavi’s statement about the club’s difficult financial situation, which caused “It’s difficult for Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid.”
Xavi announced in January that he would leave Barcelona at the end of the season. The club’s management remained optimistic that the coach could be convinced. Xavi put forward a number of conditions for the continuation of work, including a long-term project to develop the club. The manager also needs to have basic transfer spending on reinforcements during the off-season.
In April, the specialist was convinced: the parties began to agree on a new contract. It is noteworthy that the coach changed his mind precisely after a personal meeting with President Joan Laporta.
Barcelona is in second place in La Liga, with a four-point lead over Girona’s Viktor Tsygankov and Artem Dovbik. In the next round on May 19, the Catalan club will host Rayo Vallecano.
