Description

Back in January, Xavi announced he would be stepping down as Barcelona boss at the end of the season, citing the role as a “cruel job” that “wears you down”.


But last week, he and Barca changed their minds - yet another twist in a rollercoaster season for the Catalans.


So, why did Barca perform a dramatic U-turn on Xavi’s future? 


How strong is his position now?


And can Xavi be backed in this summer’s transfer market to the level he now expects?
