Xavi joins Klopp in leaving - who will be next for Barca and Liverpool?

After the big news that Jurgen Klopp would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, we now know that the same will happen with Xavi at Barcelona. He officially announced that he is leaving Barca at the end of the season - it’s over. The latest result was a terrible defeat at home to Villarreal, but my sources tell me that the atmosphere has been quite toxic around the manager.

Xavi tried his best along with his staff to make things work at Barcelona, but it wasn’t working. It’s not just about Xavi, but the atmosphere around the team as well - the feeling is that since the beginning of the season, Xavi started to feel that the whole environment around the team was absolutely negative. He has now said that the club needs a change of dynamic - he considers that something was really broken between him and Barcelona.
