In a move that has been anticipated for months, Barcelona has officially announced that their esteemed manager, Xavi Hernandez, has extended his contract with the club. The new agreement will see Xavi continue as the head coach of Barcelona until 2025.

This decision comes after a successful full first season under Xavi’s leadership. Barcelona managed to secure the La Liga title, ending their three-year drought in the competition. Additionally, Xavi guided the team to victory in the Spanish Super Cup, where they triumphed over arch-rivals Real Madrid with an impressive 3-1 scoreline in the finals.

The club’s president, Joan Laporta, along with the board, has expressed their utmost satisfaction with Xavi’s performance as the manager. Their desire for him to continue beyond his current deal has been evident in numerous public statements. However, Xavi had previously stated that he would only consider extending his contract once Barcelona claimed the La Liga title.

Now that this milestone has been achieved, Xavi is ready to embark on new challenges. One of his primary objectives is to steer Barcelona to greater success in the UEFA Champions League.

Under Xavi’s guidance, Barcelona aims to make a strong comeback on the European stage.

The contract extension signifies a strong commitment from both Xavi and Barcelona. The club’s fans eagerly await the next chapter of Xavi’s tenure as he continues to leave an indelible mark on the club’s rich footballing history.
