One of the reasons Joan Laporta did not want to sign Xavi
The president has in the end plumped for the coach of another candidate, Victor Font
Do you know one of the reasons Joan Laporta did not want to hire Xavi? To avoid seeing Victor Font having his logical moment of glory. He spoke to Jordi Baste on Rac1 and was quite prudent, although he did allow himself a light criticism. “He could have come earlier.”
Beyond the push and pull of it, it’s a success for Barcelona that the board incorporates a coach from another candidate. Xavi has come to Barcelona as a consequence of the democratic electoral process. Is that imaginable at any other club?
