Barcelona have announced that they have parted company with head coach Xavi Hernandez by mutual consent.

Xavi Hernandez is leaving FC Barcelona at the end of the season. There have been internal conflicts between him and the club's president, Joan Laporta, and Xavi has been criticized for his training intensity. He has also lost the support of some players after they saw a list of players he wanted to sell. Xavi has waived his salary for the next season, which is 11 million euros, to help the club in its financial situation. However, he is asking for 4 million euros to be paid to his assistants who have also been dismissed, and for 2.5 million euros as compensation for his departure from Al Shabab in 2021, which he paid out of his own pocket.

Xavi Hernandez is in a cycle of being written off to being certain and back in Barcelona. President Joan Laporta had some problems with the coach's public appearances and hired Hansi Flick.
