    Barcelona president Joan Laporta has openly discussed the circumstances surrounding Xavi’s departure towards the end of the past season, revealing a disagreement over squad strength as a key factor.

    Xavi, who initially decided to stay before being sacked, clashed with Laporta regarding the team’s capabilities, prompting the president to address the situation publicly.

    Laporta has now done exactly that, telling the in-house network Barca One about the disagreement that led to Xavi’s departure.

    “Xavi did a good job,” Laporta stressed. “He took over the team at a time of maximum difficulty.

    “Last year he won La LIga and the Super Cup. This season, things have not gone well, to the point that Xavi said he would not continue. I accepted it at the end the season because Xavi is a Cule at heart and it was better not to change coaches in the middle of the season.

    “Then he asked us to continue and I asked him if he believed in the team and he told me he did. What changed? He didn’t seem able to continue withstanding the pressure. There was a press conference in which he changed his discourse and a meeting with the sporting director in which he changed his requests. That made me think that the squad needed a fresh boost.

    “We had the option of Hansi Flick, who seems capable of competing against anyone with this squad. That was decisive. I think we have finished in a very elegant way with Xavi. He has kept his word, and so have we. We have reached an agreement.”

    Pushed for further details, Laporta continued: “Everything was very forced when we decided to continue. Xavi is a legend and his enthusiasm made us make the decision to ratify him. From the moment he makes those statements and he changes his requests substantially, the sports management could not see things clearly and I had the perception that I must make this decision. The board has the power to make these decisions and rectify them, as Xavi also did.”

    Keen to move forward, Laporta went on to reveal his excitement towards working with Flick, who has already been confirmed as Xavi’s replacement.

    “Out of respect for Xavi we slowed down our process, so as not to distract the team with the search for a new coach,” the Barca president explained. “We didn’t want to distract the team, with a Champions League quarter-final ahead of us.

    “I had already spoken with Flick, but he had signed with the German team and wanted to respect his commitment. When Xavi said that he would not continue, Flick was studying the squad and the best way to take advantage of it. When we rethought the continuity of Xavi, Deco and Bojan met with Flick and when he told us yes, we believed that he was the best and most capable.”
