Barcelona coach Sha Wei officially announced at the end of the first month of the year, he will leave the team after the end of this season. Once this heavy news was released, Barcelona's competitive state was unexpectedly revitalized. According to the Spanish daily sports newspaper disclosed that the club president Laporta is sparing no effort to persuade Sha Wei to take back the order, expect him to continue to coaching whip in the next season, but Sha Wei is adamant that he has no intention of returning, still plan to leave at the end of the season.
Following Xavi's departure announcement, Barcelona have won four and drawn one of their last five matches in La Liga, and fans have been showing their support for Xavi by chanting his name at the matches. Daily Sport further reported that Laporta and the club's vice-president have recently joined forces to lobby for Xavi's retention. While the team's recovery is certainly encouraging, the deeper reason is Barcelona's reluctance to rush the appointment of a new manager as they look to bring in a coach of their choice. The team's current financial woes, the slim possibility of an increase in armaments, and the fans' growing desire to win the title make any successor a "difficult" situation.
However, Laporta's plans don't seem to have worked out as hoped, with Xavi addressing questions about staying on in a recent interview. In a surprising turn of events, Xavi's answer to this query was: I think it was the right decision to leave at the end of the season, and the team's performance has improved significantly as a result. I am deeply grateful for the support I received from the fans, but firmly believe that leaving was the best option for Barcelona.
