Xavi says he leaves Barcelona with a "clear conscience".
Xavi was sacked by Barca president Joan Laporta on Friday.
He said, I'm fine. It's been a difficult few days, but I have a clear conscience. I'm proud and happy. It's been a good two and a half years. Today I was talking about it with the staff and the players that I think we can be proud, because it wasn't an easy situation. We've given it our all. We've been club men and we've done a good job, although this year we haven't met our objectives.
The experience has been spectacular and the learning tremendous. I want to finish in the best possible way and enjoy the last game as Barcelona coach, which has been an honour and a pleasure."
Xavi continued: Yesterday I spoke with the president, he told me his reasons why he thinks the coach needs to be changed. I just have to accept it, he's the one who makes all the decisions of the club. I will always be at Barcelona's disposal. We shook hands, hugged each other and wished each other the best. I'll be just another Barcelona fan and I wish the best for the president, the sporting director and the players.
They have decided this thinking because they believe they need a change of direction at the club. I was still motivated and had my ambition intact with this squad, but it wasn't to be."
