LaLiga: Why I Changed My Mind About Leaving Barcelona – Xavi

Xavi Hernandez, the Barcelona manager, has spoken up on why he decided to stay at the LaLiga club.

Xavi announced in January that he will be quitting as head coach in the summer.

The 44-year-old said he would be walking away despite having a contract until 2025 at the Nou Camp.

However, in a dramatic u-turn on Wednesday, Xavi has decided to continue with Barca, after meeting with the club’s president, Joan Laporta and other senior officials.

The former Spain midfielder has now given reasons for his decision to remain at the club.

“I changed my mind because I really felt total confidence from the president, from the board and the players too. This project isn’t finished yet.

“Me, my staff, all together feel that we have strength to make important things together and continue this project,” Xavi said.
