FC Barcelona vice-president confirmed that Xavi Hernandez will continue as head coach until at least June 30, 2025. Xavi had initially announced his intention to step down from the role this year but decided to stay after a meeting with the board.

The board expressed unanimous support for Xavi's continuity as coach, citing his enthusiasm for developing the team's young talent and the positive response from fans. The vice-president expressed excitement about Xavi leading the team at the new Camp Nou.

Addressing a controversial incident in El Clasico, the vice-president expressed frustration over a disputed goal and emphasized the club's commitment to defending their position. The club adviser echoed the sentiment, emphasizing unity and the importance of the ongoing project.

The reasons behind Xavi's change of heart were not disclosed, with the adviser highlighting Xavi's belief in his ability to contribute significantly to the team. A press conference is scheduled for Thursday to discuss the decision further, giving Barcelona more time to plan for a successor to the club legend.
