However, he has since said he has the “strength” to continue in the role.
“Yesterday I got the good news in which [Xavi] conveyed his enthusiasm and confidence for the project and the team and project,” Barca’s president Laporta said at a press conference on Thursday 25 April.
“Our coach is ambitious to create a project that has already won things and that must continue to win. But now it will be even more competitive because changes will be made for the better.”
