Sept 22 (Reuters) - Coach Xavi Hernandez has extended
his contract with Barcelona until 2025 with an option for a
further year, the LaLiga club said on Friday.
The 43-year-old manager arrived at Barcelona on a three-year
deal following the departure of Dutchman Ronald Koeman at the
end of 2021.
Former Spain international Xavi has coached Barca in 96
games, with 61 wins, 16 draws and 19 losses.
He claimed his first titles at the helm last season by
winning the Spanish Super Cup and leading the club to its 27th
league title and first in four years.
Barca academy product Xavi spent 17 years as a player with
the Catalan side, winning 25 trophies - including eight LaLiga
titles and four Champions Leagues - in 767 appearances.
