On Thursday, October 28, Joan Laporta met the Barcelona players to explain why Ronald Koeman was sacked.
The president also informed the dressing room that Xavi will be the next coach once his situation is sorted out.
Moreover, Laporta told the players that they are the first ones who need to step up as he expects more from them. Clearly, the president is unhappy with some of the Blaugranas.
Finally, Sergi Barjuan was introduced as the interim manager until a permanent replacement is found. As per recent reports, Al Sadd are ready to let Xavi leave for free but only after November 3.
