Outgoing Barcelona manager Xavi has told his successor that he 'will suffer' and insisted that his work at the club has been underappreciated. His words angered Laporta, who has now sacked the 44-year-old, with former Bayern Munich and Germany manager Hansi Flick set to take over. Barcelona have sacked manager Xavi just a month after the former midfielder made a U-turn on his intention to leave the club The legendary midfielder angered club president Joan Laporta when slamming the club finances publicly 'To the new manager, I tell you: You will suffer.' His side ended a trophyless campaign 10 points behind their arch rivals Real Madrid, who could yet add more silverware in the Champions League final on Saturday. Former Bayern Munich and Germany manager Hansi Flick is set to take over from Xavi this summer The 59-year-old's side were eliminated in the group stages of the World Cup, and he was relieved of his duties less than a year later after taking over in 2021.
