Xavi declared his intention to depart Barcelona in the wake of their 5-3 loss to Villarreal. “Before you ask me the pertinent questions, I wish to announce that as of June 30, I will no longer be serving as Barca coach,” he said following the match.

“Laporta and I have been discussing this in the sports area, and I believe the club requires a change in dynamic.” Considering the club and the athletes, I am convinced that they will achieve inner peace and liberation.

Regarding my status as a club member, I believe that “Departing on June 30 is the best course of action.” With that being stated, I am determined to exert maximum effort for the remaining four months; I am optimistic that we can achieve a successful season and I am hopeful that the dynamic will shift.Arteta, who has presided over 211 matches for Arsenal and secured 121 victories, could now be considered a formidable candidate to replace Xavi.
