Hansi Flick seems to be the most qualified candidate to succeed Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez.

A meeting to examine Xavi's performance is scheduled for Monday, the day after their season-ending match. Late last week, reports surfaced that President Joan Laporta had already decided to fire him.

Barcelona may be required to pay up to €20 million in redundancy fees if they are unable to come to an agreement about his future. They will also need to discuss the termination of his contract and that of his employees. According to MD, once that dispute is resolved, it appears that Barcelona will select Flick, giving him a one-year contract with the option of a second season.

El Chiringuito claims that Flick will be named as Xavi's successor when Xavi is fired on Monday and has a farewell party on Tuesday. It appears that Laporta has determined that a more seasoned coach—rather than Rafael Marquez, the other front-runner—is more suitable for the team. Meanwhile, MD has stated that Flick's announcement could come as soon as Monday.

Despite receiving offers in the past, Xavi Hernandez has insisted that he will take a year off from coaching before evaluating his profession once more. He declined the South Korean offer earlier this season after announcing his intention to depart amid rumors that he was being linked to both the Milan and Manchester United jobs. Nonetheless, some people are unsure if he will coach once more.
