Bayern Munich toyed with the idea of keeping Thomas Tuchel in the club after all, considering the lack of quality coaches who would accept such a job. But the Bavarians supremo Uli Hoeness boycotted the idea, so the German coach left Munich and took 10 million euros as compensation for the premature termination of his contract, as he still had a year left on it. Barcelona might fare twice as badly with Xavi Hernández. Drama is never far from the Catalan club. Xavi was supposed to leave Barcelona, and this announcement managed to mobilize the team; however, it didn’t lead to any trophies or a deep run in the Champions League. Nevertheless, the management convinced him that he was needed, so he changed his mind. Catalan craziness – Laporta wants Xavi out now, coach’s statements are disturbing the supremoThen, likely unintentionally, his comments about the financial situation irritated President Joan Laporta. This has led to widespread rumours that he will be fired, and according to Mundo Deportivo, the termination will cost Blaugrana as much as 20 million euros! Not even a month has passed, and the situation in Barcelona has turned upside down. Joan Laporta was embracing Xavi Hernández after convincing him to stay at the club. However, in the past week, they have been at odds, and the coach of the Catalan club is now just waiting for the president to pull the trigger and end his tenure at Camp Nou. Xavi struck a blow to Joan Laporta’s ego by complaining about the difficult economic situation and how it used to be easier for coaches to get reinforcements than it is for him today. While this is true, he was very tactless and failed to consider how the club’s president would react.Lack of alternatives or money leaves Barca with Xavi for another yearA final decision will be made next week. Joan Laporta will weigh his options a bit more, consider what he needs to do, and then make a decisive move. He will think twice before firing Xavi Hernández and his coaching staff because the amount of money Barcelona will have to pay out is significant given their current financial situation. It’s not a small sum. If Barcelona dismisses Xavi, there are two well-known options. There’s nothing new in this regard. The Catalan club hopes to get a positive response from Hansi Flick. However, if that doesn’t happen, Rafael Márquez is ready and waiting. The ball is in Joan Laporta’s court.##NAJAVA_MECA_8118090##
