Deco has commented on the information that Xavi could stay at Barcelona

Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, commented on the information suggesting that the team's head coach, Xavi Hernandez, may continue working with the team next season.

Deco hinted that if the coach changes his decision to leave the club, the management would not be opposed to him staying at the helm of the team.

"If something changes, I won’t say we can’t raise it. We have nothing against Xavi. It’s not a decision made by the club or the sporting management.

The relationship with Xavi is very good in every sense. I have a lot of respect for Xavi as a player and then I have respect for Xavi as a player after being with him. He made a difference in his sports career and was the best midfielder in the world for many years. I have respect for him as a coach in entering a dangerous project, in taking the risks he took. And in the end, he does things well" Deco said.

Earlier, in the media, there was information that Barcelona president Joan Laporta, in an unofficial conversation, asked Xavi to reconsider his decision to resign.

Recall that the Spanish coach announced his departure from Barcelona after a defeat against Villarreal (3:5). Currently, the Catalan team occupies the third place in La Liga.
