After Xavi was fired by Barcelona, Manchester United apparently seemed like a possible suitor for him, but their approach was met with little success. As per the Spanish publication Diario AS, the legendary Catalan player has explicitly said that he wishes to take a break and postpone his career in management for the time being. In all fairness, the Barcelona board did not play around with Xavi. He made the announcement back in January that, following three years with his previous team, he would be leaving his position in the dugout at the conclusion of the 2023–2024 season. He reversed course in April and announced that he would be the La Liga powerhouses’ coach for the foreseeable future. Positive talks with club president Joan Laporta, according to Xavi, provided him with the confidence he needed to keep the Blaugrana in the lead. Xavi committed his future to Camp Nou and then left, looking flushed. That was prior to Barcelona finishing the season without a trophy, behind Real Madrid by ten points in the league standings, and losing to them in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Laporta subsequently made his own 180-degree reversal by firing Xavi on May 24. Hurt. His replacement, Hansi Flick, a former coach of Bayern Munich and the German national side, has been signed; Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford is still up in the air.
FC Barcelona determined that making a change was the best course of action for moving forward. Barça quickly severed company with Xavi Hernandez when it was determined he was no longer the best candidate for the position. Barcelona has ultimately chosen to back Hansi Flick to take his place directly. Flick, a former coach of Bayern Munich and the German national team, will bring fresh perspectives and components to Barcelona, which he hopes to incorporate into the Barça framework. Although landing Flick appears to have been a fairly simple process, the route there was far more difficult than it first appeared. A recent report from SPORT claims that Flick’s interest was mainly piqued by FC Barcelona over Bayern Munich. According to reports, the Bavarian team desired Flick’s signature and had anticipated his return to Bayern for a possible two-year stay. After a few arguments, he ultimately decided to head in the direction of Spain. According to reports, Flick and Bayern did not agree since the Bundesliga team did not give them enough trust when it came to selecting their previous coach. They only meant to make a season-long contract offer to Hansi Flick until 2025, at which point they planned to pursue other top players like Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, or Xabi Alonso. On the other side, FC Barcelona ultimately offered him a contract that included two years of assured continuity. With a contract that would last until 2026, Flick would have more opportunity to instill his artistic principles within the team and would also receive a vote of confidence from the Barcelona board. Furthermore, there was internal conflict within Bayern Munich’s hierarchy regarding Flick’s potential hiring. While some club executives were keen to welcome the sextuple-winning coach back, others were a little more cautious, feeling that Bayern needed a new face following their whole mess with Thomas Tuchel. It appears that Bayern have finally decided to hire Vincent Kompany, the former coach of Burnley. Barcelona, however, will be hoping to build on something with Flick, a coach who appears to have already done his homework on the Catalan team and is eager to get going at his new location.
Fired After Barcelona defeated Sevilla 2-1 on Sunday to close the season, manager Xavi Hernandez expressed his disappointment with the team and claimed he felt his work was underappreciated. After Dutchman Ronald Koeman departed Barca in 2021, Xavi, 44, signed a three-year contract and guided the Catalan club to their 27th league title in the previous year. In 142 games as the manager, he recorded 90 victories, 23 ties, and 29 losses; nonetheless, he was fired last Friday. “I feel as though everything I’ve done in the past 2.5 years has set off an earthquake.

We were unable to complete the excellent work we had started throughout four crucial games,” he continued.
