Xavi officially took charge of Barcelona on November 6, 2021, and led the team in 141 matches during his two-and-a-half years in charge, helping them win the 2022/23 La Liga title and the Spanish Super Cup.
This season, Xavi led the team to participate in 53 games, achieved 35 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses, and finally ranked second in La Liga. Although the team performed well in the league, it lost 1-4 to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, 2-4 to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey, and was eliminated from the Champions League knockout rounds by Paris Saint-Germain.
Xavi's departure marks the end of an important period for Barcelona, during which he not only brought honor to the team, but also demonstrated deep emotion and dedication to the club. In the future, FC Barcelona will enter a new phase, and we expect the new coaching team to continue to lead the team to achieve good results.
