BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Xavi Hernández won’t continue as Barcelona’s coach after this season. Xavi announced his decision on Saturday, minutes after Barcelona lost to Villarreal 5-3 in the Spanish league, leaving it 10 points adrift of leader Real Madrid. “The players need a chance of dynamic and a change of situation,” Xavi said. “I think it is necessary.” Xavi returned to coach Barcelona in November 2021. He led it to the Spanish league title last season. He has a contract through the end of next season. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer 7-6
