The ambition is to keep winning and be more competitive. Changes will be made to improve the team. Since yesterday’s meeting we have agreed that it is good news. Stability is the main ingredient for the project to succeed. We have the same philosophy on this. When we analyze situations, we always know our coach wants the best for Barca.
It’s great news that Xavi continues. The team we have, which includes several young players, needs that stability. Xavi is a benchmark for youngsters and we can check that. I am very happy today. The board of directors unanimously supported this decision.
The board members were always well guided by Rafa Juste, who always had it in his mind to continue with Xavi. He has the full confidence of the board, the sports committee and the fans of Barcelona.
Today is good news because we are maintaining the stability of a project that we believe will be even more successful. We are convinced that it is the best decision and gives stability to Barcelona and to this project, which is worth it to have the quality and knowledge of Xavi.”

Xavi: “I think it’s the best decision”
“You know I’m a big fan of Barcelona and I’ve always tried my best for the team. The most important thing is the club. When we met with the president I made myself available to him, but I have a lot of confidence in the president, the sports field and the whole Board.
The participation of the players was very important, they made me see that this project must continue. We are working well, it is a successful project. The fans have also made me see that I have to keep going. The staff too. I think about what is best for the club. In January I thought it was better to leave, but now I see it differently. I think it’s the best decision.”
