Xavi sends message to fans after deciding to stay as Barcelona boss

Barcelona manager Xavi has sent out a message to fans on social media after confirming he will stay on as coach after all.

Xavi spoke at a press conference on Thursday and said the “project isn’t finished yet” when asked for his reasons for changing his mind and continuing his managerial career at the club.

The boss then later posted a message on instagram to thank fans for their support and make it clear he’s full of enthusiasm for the future.

“Happy to continue working on this project. Thanks to the fans and the Club for giving us their trust. We continue with more enthusiasm than ever,” he wrote on Instagram.

Xavi and Barcelona get back to work on the pitch on Monday evening against Valencia. The Catalans then finish off this season’s La Liga campaign with games against Girona, Real Sociedad, Almeria, Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla.
