The newspaper "Daily Mail" said that the days of the current coach of Barcelona team, Kiki Sittian, are numbered, after the situation between him and the rest of the players has become tense, and after the deterioration of the results of the team that is on the verge of losing its title in the Spanish League "La Liga" in favor of the rivals Real Madrid, which is ahead Four points, five games before the close of the season.
The British newspaper confirmed that a secret meeting was held at the Barcelona administration level, and after the approval of the first Argentine star Lionel Messi, the departure of coach Cetian was settled by the end of the season, and the appointment of the former star, Xavi Hernandez, in his place.
The Daily Mail said that the newspaper "Mondo Deportview" confirmed the news, and said that the agreement had already been concluded, and that arrangements had been made to appoint Chavei to the position once the season ended. She said that the club administration apparently changed its mind regarding the coach, after Messi threatened to leave in the summer of 2021, in the event that no significant steps were taken, as Messi had previously expressed in various ways his dissatisfaction with the work provided by Cetian in the team, and his aides.
Xavi was a strong candidate to take the place of former coach Ernesto Valverde in January, but he refused because he didn't want to lead the team in the middle of the season, so Citi was hired, who did not hesitate to agree. But the latter did not achieve the desired results with the team, and criticism poured in on him lately, especially from the stars of the team who indicated that they do not agree with the coach's technical vision, as Luis Suárez said in a previous statement.
