The confirmation came from the Doha club, which detailed that the Barcelona leadership agreed to pay the termination clause of five million euros, despite the fact that he had resisted that action in recent days.
Xavi met face-to-face with the president of the Qatari club, Sheikh Mohamad Bin Khalifa al Thani, on Thursday to express that his wish was to be able to return to Barcelona, where he shone as a footballer, to try to reverse the image of the last half.
“Xavi informed us in the last days of his desire to go through the Barcelona experience at this particular moment due to the critical stage that his city club is going through, and we understand this and decided not to stand in his way,” explained the club of Qatar, in a press release through their social networks.
After the Dutchman’s departure Ronald Koeman, and even before the start of the season, Xavi’s name fluttered strongly in the corridors of the Camp Nou and President Joan Laporta finally achieved his goal.
Xavi will have seven assistants who will accompany him in Barcelona after working with him at Al Sadd: his direct assistants Óscar Hernández and Sergio Alegre; the physical trainer Iván Torres, the physio Carlos Nogueira and the scouters David Prats, Toni Lobo and Sergio García.
As a footballer of the culé team, Xavi played 17 seasons in the first team from the 1998-99 to 2014-15 campaign, a period in which he became the player who had defended the Barcelona shirt the most times in official matches (764 , but 774 if the duels of the Catalunya Cup are counted), until it was snatched from him a few months ago by Lionel Messi.
Xavi has the peculiarity of having played all the competitions in which Barcelona was part, except for the 2005-06 King’s Cup edition.
Now, he will return as a coach to try to return him to the national and international foreground.
