The Catalan coach is leading his club to the league title and will be rewarded

Xavi Hernández's entourage has held a first meeting with the club to discuss the coach's renewal. The harmony between all parties is good and an agreement is sure to be reached. Barça have offered him two more years on the contract, in addition to the one he has next season, so that Xavi will be the team's coach until the end of Joan Laporta's mandate.

Barça president Joan Laporta explained a few weeks ago that he was thinking of renewing Xavi's contract as soon as possible, convinced that he is the ideal coach to take the Blaugrana project forward in the short and medium term. Laporta's idea is that Xavi will manage the team for practically the entirety of his mandate, thus ensuring a continuous line of action that will serve to improve the competitive performance of the Blaugrana team.

Barça believe Xavi is the ideal coach because he knows the club, has the capacity to grow in the dugout and is a club coach who will adapt to the economic circumstances the club is going through. It is very likely that this season he will win the league and the Super Cup, starting a cycle that the Blaugrana board hopes will be a winning one. Next season, the team needs to make a resurgence in European competition.

Barça's idea is to negotiate Xavi's continuity during the month of April to announce his renewal once the league title is won. Xavi is fully prepared to reach a financial and sporting planning agreement, working hand in hand with the director of football, Mateu Alemany, and the sporting director, Jordi Cruyff.
