Barcelona manager Xavi has elected to stay beyond this summer at the club, despite promising to leave in January
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Blaugrana manager told reporters at the end of January that he planned on leaving the club at the end of the season. Since then, though, numerous figures around the team - including president Joan Laporta - have tried to convince him to stick around and see out his contract. It seems that their pleas have worked, with the manager set to stay.
