FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez's future is uncertain following reports of tension between him and the club's board. Anonymous sources have indicated that President Joan Laporta was displeased with Xavi's recent comments ahead of a La Liga match against Almeria.
Despite previously agreeing to extend his contract until 2025, doubts have emerged about Xavi's continuity as head coach. Laporta and the sporting area are reportedly disturbed by Xavi's remarks during a prematch press conference, where he highlighted the club's challenging economic situation and the need for stability and time to compete effectively.
Xavi's comments regarding player transfers, particularly the situation involving Vitor Roque, have also reportedly not been well-received by the board. The forward's agent has indicated a preference for a permanent transfer if Barca insists on a temporary assignment elsewhere.
While there was initial optimism when Xavi agreed to stay on as head coach, recent developments suggest a souring of relations behind the scenes at the Montjuic Stadium. The future of Xavi Hernandez at FC Barcelona remains uncertain as tensions between him and the club's leadership continue to surface.
