Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has reversed his earlier decision to step down at the end of the current season, opting instead to remain at the club until at least the end of his contract in June 2025.
The 44-year-old former Barcelona and Spain midfielder had announced in January that the 2022-23 campaign would be his last as the Blaugrana's head coach.

Xavi to Stay at Barcelona
However, with club president Joan Laporta reportedly keen for him to stay, Xavi has now decided to continue in his role for the foreseeable future according to a BBC report.
Since taking over as Barcelona's head coach in November 2021, Xavi has overseen a significant turnaround in the team's fortunes.
After a difficult start to the 2022-23 season, the Catalan giants are set to be dethroned as LaLiga champions as they sit 11 points behind leaders and rivals Real Madrid and recently got knocked out of the UEFA Champions League.
Xavi's decision to remain at the Camp Nou comes as a surprise but will provide much-needed stability and continuity for the club as they look to reclaim their position as one of Europe's dominant forces.
With the former midfield maestro at the helm, Barcelona fans can look forward to an exciting and successful future.
