Barcelona manager Xavi is set to sign a new contract extension after an impressive start to life as a head coach.
The 43-year-old returned to his former side in 2021 replacing Ronald Koeman and immediately implemented stricter rules for the club’s playing staff. In his first full term in charge last season, Xavi helped guide the Catalans to their first La Liga title in four years.
