Barcelona president Joan Laporta announced to fans last night that the appointment of Xavi was done.
Barca confirmed early this morning that Xavi would be their new coach after a compensation agreement with Al Sadd was reached.
Laporta declared in a meeting with supporters in Galicia on Friday night the deal was done, reports Sport.
Laporta assured the organisers of the event that "Xavi's contract is about to be finalised."
While he has been cautious and not spoken to the media on the trip, where he will take in Barça's game at Celta Vigo on Saturday, he explained at the fan club meeting that Xavi "will be the Barça coach."
