Posted on October 29, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. by T.M. Following the dismissal of Ronald Koeman, Xavi is announced as the favorite to coach FC Barcelona. This Friday, Joan Laporta raised the subject. The new era will finally be able to really begin at FC Barcelona . While Joan Laporta , who regained the post of president of the Catalan club, did not choose Ronald Koeman as a coach, he will now have the possibility to appoint whoever he wants. Indeed, following the loss to Rayo Vallecano, Koeman was relieved of his duties as Barca coach. And if Sergi Barjuan is going to take over for the next matches, Xavi could eventually step down to take the lead. This Friday, Joan Laporta appeared at a press conference and inevitably did not escape questions about Xavi . So will the ex-FC Barcelona sit on the Blaugrana bench? “We are working to bring in a trainer. I'm not going to say anything about the options we have. It wouldn't be professional. I don't want to harm anything. (…) As a coach, I think Xavi is in a process of growth and I have very good feedback from people who know him more closely. We've been talking to each other often for the past two months, we have a friendly relationship, I know his opinion of the team. (…) I always said that Xavi would one day coach Barca. This is a priority goal in his life. I accustomed myself to the people around me who are following his progress to see if he is the right trainer. Xavi is a person who lives for football, he is from Barça. We will see how it will evolve. My conversations with Xavi? They are private, it is between friends “, explained Laporta in particular to the media. 
“Xavi? I have had very good feedback “
