Xavi will leave his role as Barcelona head coach at the end of the season, the club have confirmed.

The news comes a month after the Barca boss had reversed a decision to step down this summer after two and a half years in charge.

A club statement on Friday confirmed president Joan Laporta had told Xavi that his final game will be against Sevilla on Sunday.

"The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, announced this afternoon to Xavi Hernandez that he will not continue as coach of the first team in the 2024-25 season," the statement read.

"FC Barcelona would like to thank Xavi for his work as a coach, as well as his unparalleled career as a player and captain of the team, and wishes him all the luck in the world.

"Xavi Hernandez will lead his last game as first team coach this Sunday in Seville.

"In the coming days, FC Barcelona will inform about the new structure of the first team."

Having been appointed in November 2021 to manage the club where he won 25 major trophies as a player, 2010 World Cup winner Xavi steered the team from ninth place in LaLiga to the runners-up spot following the sacking of Ronald Koeman.

Barca were crowned champions in his first full season in charge but they subsequently failed to mount a serious challenge to retain their title this term and sit 12 points behind Real going into the final game of the season.
