Carlo Ancelotti commented on Xavi's decision to stay at Barcelona

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti commented on Xavi's decision to stay at Barcelona.

During the press conference, the Italian specialist stated that, in his opinion, Xavi's decision is the right one, as he has worked wonderfully at Barcelona and knows the club very well. Ancelotti was also asked if he finds it strange that Xavi changed his mind.

"We must respect changes in opinions. How many times have I changed mine? Many times throughout my career. It's legitimate and allowed," responded the Real Madrid coach.

In January, Barcelona head coach Xavi announced his intention to leave the team at the end of the season. But, soon, there were reports that the specialist changed his decision and will continue to work with the Blaugrana from now on. Now these rumours have official confirmation

On Thursday, April 25th, during a joint press conference, Barcelona's director announced that Xavi is indeed staying at the club and will continue his work.

Xavi has been with Barcelona since November 2021 and his contract with the blaugrana runs until the end of 2025. As we understand, the specialist will at least fully work out his labour agreement with the Catalan club.

Under Xavi's leadership, Barcelona became champions and winners of the Spanish Cup. In the current La Liga campaign, the Blues are far from the title, trailing Real Madrid by 11 points with six rounds to go.
