'Laporta has come to his senses': Font on Barca appointing Xavi as head coach

"We knew it was important that the project was in good hands," former Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font said on TV3, as quoted by Diario Sport.

"I was very clear that in my project Xavi had to have all the power in the sporting area. We have been working on a sports structure to guarantee a splendid future. 

"I am glad that even though Laporta thought Xavi was not ready, he has come to his senses and now Xavi is in charge."

Font lost the Barcelona presidential elections to Joan Laporta in March. Font promised he would appoint Xavi as manager if he became president while Laporta insisted on keeping Koeman at the wheel.
