Xavi Hernandez Faces Key Decision Amid Barcelona Managerial Talks

As discussions unfold between Xavi Hernandez and the Barcelona board regarding the managerial role for the upcoming season, a pivotal decision looms on the horizon. Recent reports indicate a potential reversal of Xavi's decision to step down, adding complexity to the situation.

In a secondary meeting held on Wednesday evening involving key stakeholders including Xavi, Deco, Rafa Yuste, and Joan Laporta, significant demands were raised. Among them, the Barcelona board seeks changes to Xavi's coaching staff, specifically the removal of two members: his brother, Oscar Hernandez, serving as assistant manager, and the fitness coach.

Barcelona's proposal includes offering Domenec Torrent, a former member of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff, as a replacement for Xavi's brother. However, the acceptance of this condition remains uncertain, considering the longstanding partnership between Xavi and his brother since their arrival at Barcelona in November 2021. As talks progress, Xavi faces a crucial decision that could shape the club's future direction on the managerial front.
