It’s the news of the day. Xavi will no longer be Barcelona manager next season. The Blaugrana coach was officially sacked with president Laporta who, arriving at the Ciutat Deportiva today, informed the interested party. Hansi Flick should arrive next July, with whom the Catalan club has closed in recent days. The announcement could come next Monday, after the match that Barça will play against Sevilla.
Someone who knows Xavi very well and has coached him, winning practically everything at Barcelona, commented on the incident: Pep Guardiola. On the eve of the FA Cup final at Wembley against Manchester United, the Manchester City manager commented on what happened today:
“What can I say? It’s never good news because it means that something didn’t work – Guardiola began in the press conference -. A manager sacked by the club. I don’t know the reasons for what happened. We spoke today at breakfast of so many technician dismissals. Normally managers move a lot. In our job you have to win otherwise you are in a dangerous position, whether you are young or old, you have to win, do a good job and be good at many things otherwise this happens.”
