Xavi Hernandez turned down contract offer weeks after announcing Barcelona departure

Xavi Hernandez looks set to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, with president Joan Laporta preparing to sack him – just weeks after begging him to continue for another 12 months. The 44-year-old originally signalled his intention to resign back in January, before being dissuaded weeks later.

Not long after the announcement of his stepping down at Barcelona, Xavi was offered the chance to manage internationally. As per MD, the South Korean Football Federation presented a proposal to the Spaniard following their dismissal of Jurgen Klinsmann, but it was politely rejected.

It had been reported in the weeks after Xavi’s original resignation decision that he planned to take a sabbatical next season, if he wasn’t still Barcelona manager. With it now looking increasingly likely that he will be sacked after Sunday’s trip to Sevilla, it remains to be seen whether he sticks with this plan – or seeks an immediate return to management.

    If this sentence alone doesnt bring the cataIanimaI mentaI iIlness complexity to light for you, chances are you arent paying attention.

    Prima decides that he wants to go but changes his mind five minutes to midnightand wants to stay instead.
    Secunda begs prima to stay when he wanted to leave but does a “Baerbock 360” and decides that he actually wants to fire prima five minutes to midnight when prima changes HIS mind and realised he actually wanted to stay.

    These are caricatures of a human being. I couldnt be happier that caricatures are running this institution. You can forget ever being relevant again as long as laPorka is in charge. Remember when he unfolded that banner “Im back”? Well thank heavens above you came back laPorka, its as if God himself sent you our way, BAHAHA.

    With him around, prepare for more of:

    Billions wasted
    Merely one Champ Leag. in over a decade
    Over half billion burned Ievers
    No CIasico victory in ten games
    Dumped out twice in Europa Leag.
    Change of four different coaches yielded three trophies
    Last three years amounted less than one trophy average compared to our seven
    No trophies this season

      1. Hello illiterate mongoloid

        I am still waiting for your answer, tell me, what hurt you the most this year? Three straight Clasico losses, being eliminated in CL with literally easiest road to finals ever or getting not a single trophy this season?
        For me personally, I loved them all so much I can’t decide. Haha!
