[Giovanni]

OFFICIAL:
Barcelona announce Xavi as new manager. He will be presented on Monday

Official statement from Barcelona
"FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with Xavi Hernandéz for him to become first team coach for the rest of the current season and also valid for two more seasons, until June 2024".

Something about this just feels so right. It was meant to happen. I just hope he manages to execute his ambitious ideas he will surely have.

 

[Paarai]

Honestly feels surreal seeing him come home as a manager. Nothing but respect for him and hope he can succeed

This is big win for Barcelona... Xavi is modern legend, he will be respected so much by young players and the whole squad. I somehow believe that he really can be the man who will overturn the way Barca is going right now!

Good luck to Xavi!

FT: Celta Vigo 3-3 Barcelona

Celta Vigo scorers: Iago Aspas (52', 90'+6'), Nolito (74')
Barcelona scorers: Ansu Fati (5'), Sergio Busquets (18'), Memphis Depay (34')

At half time I thought the news of Xavi's arrival gave the Barcelona players a real boost... and in the end it probably didn't...

Xavi left Al Sadd for Al Sadder.

 

[Malchus]

Xavi decided he's seen enough. Going back to Al Sadd tomorrow morning.
