Xavi has a contract with the Nou Camp until 2025, although he revealed in January that he would be leaving as head coach in the summer.
Xavi had a surprising change of heart on Wednesday, deciding to stay with Barça after meeting with Joan Laporta, the club president, and other high-ranking executives.
The ex-Spain midfielder has now explained why he wants to stay with the club.

The unwavering support I received from the president, the board, and the players ultimately swayed my decision. We still have a ways to go in this project.
The entire team here at Xavi’s office believes we can make a difference and keep this project going, he added.
