Shortly after Klopp's resignation, Xavi Hernandez also announced his departure from Barcelona.
Barcelona have blocked the possibility of Sergio Concepcion's appointment.
Recently, there has been a series of shocking news. Two managers of big clubs have announced their intention to step down at the end of this season. The first is Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. After coaching the Reds since 2015, Klopp announced that he would be stepping down at the end of this season.
Shortly after Klopp's resignation, Xavi Hernandez also announced his departure from Barcelona.
After the game, Xavi announced that he would be stepping down at the end of the season: "I want to announce that I will not be leading Barcelona after the end of this season, because we need to change the current atmosphere. I cannot accept this situation as a Barcelona fan," he said.
As a player, he is a 'legend' that is hard to find. He had a long career at Barcelona through La Masia and was part of the club's glory years alongside the likes of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, and Carles Puyol.
After retiring from playing, he turned to coaching. He started coaching Barcelona in 2021 after working at Al Sadd in Qatar. Despite his lack of managerial experience, Barcelona trusted Xavi because he understood the club better than anyone else.
And it paid off. First of all, as a Barcelona legend, he was able to take the club's DNA and transplant it into his team. He brought back the passing and possession soccer that was the hallmark of the club, and La Masia players took advantage of it. In 2022-23, the team was crowned league champions and lifted the Supercopa de España trophy.
This season, however, they have struggled. While they're still in contention for the league title, the gap at the top of the table has widened considerably and they've suffered shock defeats in the Supercopa de España and Copa del Rey.
Since Xavi announced his intention to leave, Barcelona have been searching for a successor. One of the candidates was Conceição, who coaches Porto. The Portuguese coach, who also participated in the 2002 World Cup with South Korea, has been in charge since 2012 and has won numerous trophies in the Portuguese league.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, even approached Barcelona about his appointment. However, Barcelona's answer was no. According to Ferran Correas, a reporter for Spanish publication Sport, "Laporta ruled out Conceição as a candidate. Mendes proposed Conceição to Barcelona, but Laporta rejected him because he didn't think his style would fit in with the club."
