XAVI EXTENDS BARCA CONTRACT UNTIL 2025
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has extended his contract at the club by one year, keeping him until 2025.
The new deal includes an option for an additional year, too.
Xavi’s current terms were due to expire next summer, but he has always insisted there would be “no problems” in reaching an agreement over new terms.
Negotiations accelerated after the transfer market closed earlier this month, with an official announcement possible as soon as this week, the source added.
Xavi, 43, replaced Ronald Koeman as Barça coach at the end of 2021 after starting his managerial career in Qatar with Al Sadd.
In his first campaign in charge, he took the club from ninth in the table to second, ensuring Champions League qualification.
Last season, he led the Blaugrana to their first LaLiga title since 2019, winning the league by 10 points.
There was also success in the Spanish Super Cup, with an impressive 3-1 win against Real Madrid in the final, but Barça came up short in the Champions League, the Europa League and the Copa del Rey.
