Barcelona statement from Xavi

Xavi, who is expected to become Barcelona coach after Koeman's departure, spoke for the first time.

Losing Lionel Messi, Barcelona had a pretty bad start to the 2021-22 season. The Catalan team, which can only collect 15 points in the first 10 games played in La Liga, is in the ninth place of La Liga.

Far from expectations in both La Liga and the Champions League, Barcelona announced that they parted ways with coach Ronald Koeman after the last defeat to Rayo Vallecano.

Al-Sadd coach Xavi, who is one of the new coach candidates, spoke for the first time about the allegations.

Xavi, who runs l-Sadd, said the following about his claims to be Barcelona coach:

"Right now I'm completely focused on my ongoing work in Al Sadd. I won't say anything more on this subject."

In addition, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano said that the negotiations with the clubs are continuing and that Barcelona hopes to complete this agreement in a short time.
