After guiding Barcelona to the La Liga title in 2022-23, Xavi’s side put up a disappointing defence to their crown this term.
The Catalans are 12 points behind rivals Real Madrid, with one game remaining in the season.
Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage by Paris St-Germain.
Xavi spent 17 years with Barcelona as a player, having emerged from the club’s La Masia academy.
After four years’ playing for Qatari side Al-Sadd, Xavi retired in 2019 to take over the side as manager.
He remained in Qatar for a further two seasons, before replacing Ronald Koeman in November 2021 as Barcelona boss.
Xavi helped the club to the La Liga title and Spanish Cup during his first full season in charge, earning the side a return to the Champions League.
Sevilla boss Quique Sanchez Flores has criticised Barcelona’s treatment of Xavi.
“I shouldn’t say this, but how badly Barcelona treats its legends. What a bad streak,” Flores told reporters on Friday afternoon.
“With Koeman, with Messi, with Xavi now – how bad. I wish clubs treated their legends well. That would be fantastic. Xavi is a legend of the club.”
Flores added he had “doubts the criticism about him [Xavi] is correct”.
Barcelona will finish the season second in LaLiga behind champions Real Madrid and Xavi will remain in charge for the game at Sevilla.
During his 141 games as Barcelona boss, Xavi won 89 matches – giving him a 63% win ratio.
