Xavi Hernández to Depart Barcelona; Hansi Flick Emerges as Potential Replacement

Posted : 25 May 2024

Barcelona announced on Friday that Xavi Hernández will depart from his role as coach after Sunday's final game of the season, a decision confirmed in a meeting between Hernández and club president Joan Laporta.

 

This change in direction follows a joint announcement just a month ago that Hernández would see out his contract until 2025, marking a surprising turn of events for the Catalan club.

 

The decision to part ways with Hernández signals the end of his tenure, which began in 2021 and included leading Barcelona to their first LaLiga title since 2019 last season.

 

Former Bayern Munich and Germany coach Hansi Flick is reportedly set to replace Hernández, with negotiations between Flick's camp and Barcelona's hierarchy said to be advanced.

 

While other candidates such as Rafa Márquez and Thomas Tuchel were considered, Flick emerged as the leading contender for the coaching role, impressing club officials during talks.

 

Flick's coaching pedigree, including leading Bayern to a treble in 2020 and winning the World Cup with Germany in 2014, makes him a compelling choice for Barcelona.

 

Despite Hernández's initial decision to remain at the club, tensions between him and Laporta, exacerbated by recent remarks about the club's financial challenges, have led to this mutual parting of ways.

 

While Hernández expressed pride in his tenure and commitment to Barcelona's success, his departure marks a significant transition for the club.

 

As Barcelona prepares to unveil its new coaching structure in the coming days, Hernández bids farewell to the club he served both as a player and coach, expressing gratitude and wishing the best for its future endeavors.
