Resigned FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez may reconsider his decision to leave the club. Speculations suggest that Xavi might stay on as the head coach of FC Barcelona despite announcing his resignation on June 30. The decision came after a disappointing 5-3 loss to Villarreal, which initially seemed to dash hopes of retaining the La Liga title.
With bitter rivals Real Madrid currently leading the Spanish top-flight table by eight points, it appears likely that they will clinch the title. Despite missed opportunities to narrow the gap, including an upcoming El Clasico match in April, Barca's chances seem slim. The team has also missed out on the Super Cup and Copa del Rey titles, with Real Madrid claiming the former in Saudi Arabia.
However, Barca's recent victory over Napoli in the Champions League has injected new life into their season. Xavi expressed his frustration with the media, highlighting the team's success in reaching the Champions League quarter-finals as evidence that his impending departure has not negatively impacted the squad.
Barca's vice-president and sporting director have both expressed respect for Xavi's decision, leaving the possibility open for him to reconsider. The club is yet to appoint a successor, with a decision expected by the end of the month. Should Barca progress further in Europe, Xavi potentially reversing his resignation would be a significant development.
