FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has accepted Xavi Hernandez's decision to resign as head coach of the club. In a recent press conference, Laporta revealed that he respects Xavi's choice because he is considered a legend at Barça. Xavi made the announcement following the team's 5-3 home loss to Villarreal, after reportedly meeting with Laporta.
Laporta spoke to the club's official channels on Sunday and expressed his understanding of Xavi's desire to finish the season before stepping down. He stated, 'It is a formula that I accept because Xavi proposes it, and he is a Barça legend. The commitment will be maximum from him and the staff until the end of the season.' Despite the recent setback, Laporta emphasized the importance of continuing to fight in La Liga, where Barcelona currently sits 10 points behind the leaders.
