Following Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Getafe in the 26th round, Spanish coach Javier Hernandez, known as Xavi, expressed his contentment with the decision to leave his post at the end of the season.
Barca Times quotes Xavi as saying:
The decision is very correct because the team has taken a step forward. I am very convinced of the decision. Not for me, but for the club. And thank the fans from the bottom of my heart for being by my side.
With this win, Barcelona has accumulated 57 points from 26 matches, propelling them to second place in the Spanish league standings. They trail leaders Real Madrid by five points, with one game left to play.
On January 26, it was announced that Xavi, the former Barcelona midfielder and Spanish national team player, will remain as the head coach of the team until the end of the 2023/2024 season.
Xavi, who took charge of Barcelona in November 2021, announced his resignation following his team's defeat to Villarreal in the 22nd round of the Spanish league. AS reported that the 44-year-old coach intends to focus on his personal life for the next year and take a break from coaching.
