The future of Xavi Hernández, as well as the one of Ronald Koeman to the control of the bench of the FC Barcelona, is being all an incógnita. The past weekend desató a wave of speculations and all aimed to that the egarense would not renew his agreement with the To the-Sadd and would remain free, something that many interpreted like a direct wink to the managerial board of Joan Laporta.
It finished sucediendo all the contrary to the information spread by some media. The technician will continue directing the To the-Sadd and will sign his renewal by two seasons more. It will be still in Qatar until 30 June 2023. It will be this same week when it announce of official way the extension of his agreement.
Xavi had the intention to renew only by a season, until summer of 2022, date in which casually it finalises the agreement of Koeman with the Barça. But the qataríes were inflexibles in this sense. The club thinks in the World-wide of Qatar of 2022, that contests in winter, where wish to have to Hernández like ambassador.
The secret clause
The renewal will be signed and the technician will access whenever it contemplate a small clause. In the case that the FC Barcelona request him, the Catalan has the authority to split anytime without at least have to credit a penalty. It works like a joker that will be able to use whenever Joan Laporta and the sportive area take a decision.
The contemplation of said clause no only competes him directly to him, but to the rest of his staff. When Xavi decide to leave of the To the-Sadd, the other technicians will remain automatically freed. For the moment, it feels comfortable in Qatar and does not pose give the jump to Europe to another team that was not the Barça.
Koeman, immovable
After confirming the continuity of the trainer of Terrassa, the one who has greater profit in Barcelona is Ronald Koeman. In spite of having agreement with the Barcelona club until June of 2022, still the voices that the Dutch can be sacked as as it finish the season do much stronger. However, everything aims that Laporta will follow trusting the current technician. Already it achieved the Glass of Rey and are to four split suspender belts of the title. Even, already it has participated in the meetings with Mateu Alemany and Rafael Yuste to schedule the team after this summer.
