Barcelona board only has one supporter for Xavi Hernandez, while Deco advocates for a replacement to take over

Introduction to the article:
The future of Xavi Hernandez as the head coach of Barcelona is uncertain following a humiliating defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. Despite this, the support of president Joan Laporta has kept Xavi in his position, even as the rest of the board has lost faith in him.

Xavi retains support from President Laporta

It has been reported that president Joan Laporta continues to trust in Xavi and the current project that Barcelona is undertaking. However, the rest of the board, including Sporting Director Deco, have lost faith in the head coach and are advocating for a change in leadership.

Advocacy for Rafa Marquez

Sporting Director Deco is pushing for Rafa Marquez, the head coach of Barca Atletic, to be promoted to first team manager. However, despite this push, Laporta’s support for Xavi means that, for the time being, Marquez will not be taking over the role.

Pressure on Xavi

The pressure is undeniably on Xavi to turn things around for Barcelona, but it seems that he will have some time to make improvements. Despite the loss of faith from the board, Xavi’s future remains in the hands of President Laporta.
