Things at Barcelona are a mess. Despite reports that the club is looking to sack Xavi and bring in a new manager, things are not what they seem. Barcelona is second in LaLiga and was knocked out of the Champions League quarterfinals by PSG.

Xavi had decided on his own to walk away but did an about-face and continued on as head coach. The club legend has a contract until June 2025. The Barcelona brass are reportedly set to meet on May 30th to make their final decision on the manager.

Xavi has won two titles with Barcelona as coach and amassed an 89-29-24 record since taking over the club in November 2021.
