Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, has made it clear that the club is not considering a change in their managerial position until the end of the current season, despite offers from renowned agents. In a recent statement, Laporta revealed that agent Pini Zahavi proposed Hansi Flick as a potential candidate for the coaching role at Barcelona. However, Laporta, emphasizing his good relationships with agents like Zahavi and Jorge Mendes, stated that he has declined such offers, reaffirming the club’s commitment to their current manager, Xavi.
“We will wait for Xavi’s decision and then we will see, we will have solutions,” Laporta added, indicating that the future will be assessed based on Xavi’s stance at the season’s conclusion.
