Xavi reaches 100 games at the helm of Barca with championship ambitions

BARCELONA: Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez reached 100 games in charge of the La Liga club with a 2-0 win over Almeria on Thursday, and although being on the verge of a second-place finish, he made it clear that he wants to win championships.

Xavi, who last month reversed his decision to leave the club at the end of the season, said he is concentrating on the future with changes already in mind for the club. “I have every ambition to win titles. The economic situation is not the best and we are working to reverse it. We are planning the next season and I see it as an opportunity,” Xavi told a press conference. “We are getting the games ready to play the Super Cup next year. I really want Barca to win titles again. This year we haven’t competed well enough to win them, but we’ve come close. I’m eager, excited and ambitious,” he added.
