"Barcelona" would like to thank Xavi for his work as a coach, as well as for his unique career as a player and team captain. We wish him continued success", the statement said.

Barcelona will play its next match against Celta in the last round of the La Liga season. The match will take place on May 26. According to the club's representatives, Xavi will lead Barcelona to this match.

In November 2021, Xavi became the head coach of the Spanish Barcelona. Under the leadership of the 44-year-old specialist, the Catalans won La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup. However, this season, they were left without trophies.

Barcelona's bosses were ready to continue working with Xavi, but President Joan Laporta did not like the words of the coach, who criticized the management for lack of finances.

• According to information insider Fabrizio Romano, Hans-Dieter Flick will become the next coach of Barcelona.
