Despite having announced his departure at the end of the season after the tough defeat against Villarreal last January, Xavi Hernández's future on the FC Barcelona bench could take an unexpected turn. According to the newspaper Sports world exclusively, the Catalan coach would be open to continuing to lead the team next season.
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for Xavi. After the disastrous elimination in the Champions League at the hands of PSG and the defeat in the classic against Real Madrid, the Catalan's continuity seemed to be more in doubt than ever.

The voice of the fans. Barcelona fans have shown their support for Xavi in recent weeks, chanting his name in Montjuic and expressing their desire for him to continue leading the team. Social networks have also become a loudspeaker for the popular clamor in favor of the Catalan coach.
