(CNN) -
FC Barcelona announced the appointment of club legend Xavi Hernández as the club's new manager in a deal that includes the remainder of the current season plus two additional seasons.
He replaces Ronald Koeman, who was fired last month after a poor start to the season.
The team say Xavi is expected to travel to Barcelona over the weekend before a formal introduction as FC Barcelona's new manager at Camp Nou on Monday.
Xavi made a record 767 appearances for Barcelona winning eight La Liga titles and four Champions League titles during his time at the Catalan club.
