According to Fabrizio Romano via Twitter, Xavi Hernández has opened up about his decision to step down as manager in Barcelona at the end of the season.
The football icon cited a combination of the common challenges faced by Barcelona managers over time and the toll it has taken on his family.
“It’s not worth it to continue,” Xavi said, acknowledging the familiar trend of managerial departures at Barcelona. This statement implies the considerable pressures and expectations associated with leading one of the most storied football clubs in the world.
The revelation took a personal turn as Xavi disclosed, “I will rest for a bit after this season. My family has been suffering a lot with me in this tenure. I want to be with them.” This glimpse into the personal sacrifice and toll on family life sheds light on the human aspect of managerial responsibilities at the highest level of football.
As Xavi prepares to bid farewell to Barcelona, questions about the future direction of both Xavi’s career and Barcelona’s managerial landscape have been raised.
