    It’s a bad move. There is no guarantee that next season will see things improve. Barca is still broke, Xavi still has anger issues, Real Madrid will be even more formidable with the inclusion of Mbappe. The problem will be worse next season for him, because him staying on will be the focal point when things fall apart again.

    Xavi & Laporta know the Barca fan culture so well. Barca fans wanted Xavi out & were against him like he was anti-christ or something. Xavi decides to leave & reality hits Barca fans because Barca can't take Klopp, Naggelsman, Flick or any manager except Marquez. Which means Barca would get a manager way worse than Xavi. Barca fans are relieved & fully supporting Xavi, most are anyway. Funny how Xavi leaving showed a hint of reality & made Barca fans be humble for what they have.

    Xavi is NOT a bad manager. He won La Liga last year! They are probably going to come in 2nd this year. Football fans are the most turncoat people I have ever met. As soon as one bad thing happens, they turn on the team or player. Everyone needs to get a grip.

    Yeah I agree. But gab isn’t necessarily wrong. I do fear that xavi’s love of the club might have made him feel bad about the uncertainty of the replacement. Laporte maybe took advantage of that. At the same time even a guy like hansi flick wouldn’t have been a certainty to succeed, but xavi will at least not be afraid to promote from within the club.

    One thing I just don't understand is that how people think Xavi staying is bad. Look no other manager would coach Barcelona with no money who can't buy good players. If you want a manager to win trophies then that manger would come and ask for players and money which Barcelona can't afford to buy. Do you know that Xavi is paid so less like he gets paid so low. No coach would come and manage a club who can't even afford their wages. No manager would come and coach Barcelona with such low wages just to get replaced by another manager the next season. You think Flick would help the club? Dude won't be able to work with young players. The next best option in Rafa Marquez. Do you think Marquez will be better than Xavi?

    I was against Xavi staying because he was taking little risk and showed no creativity countering the team limitations, but since he annouced he would leave he started coaching differently and making bold decisions, the team looked way better since Even after the psg loss which was due to a split second decision from Araujo with little experience at that stage and debatable refereeing in that game and last classico. So I'm hoping he will stay this bold/ambitious in his decisions and that the direction will help bolster obviously weak spots like right back position to get the best out of yamal, a good DM and a decent striker (lewa I think is past his physical and goalscroring prime). Good luck Xavi

    Bartomeu’s reign has completely destroyed the club. When they sold Neymar for 200 million euros they should’ve rebuilt the squad. Start from defense, then to CDM to replace Busquets but instead they went on to buy Coutinho, Dembele and Griezmann for exorbitant amount of price. Then last year they pulled all of their financial leverage to get players that already past their primes. Just for comparison some of Madrid’s acquisition during the same period were Vini, Rodrygo, Tchouameni, Camavinga and of course Jude. While Barca is only building a team of today, Madrid is building the Galacticos of the future.

If you get rid of Xavi you get rid of the Barcelona DNA. If you're against Positional Play, educate yourself before deciding to think you know what football really is.

    Xavi learned tactics in LaMasia when he was a kid, the most tactical academy in the world that teaches the most complex tactics that passed on from Cruyff. He was a Spanish midfielder. So instead of hoofing long pass without thinking, he build up step by step in a methodical way. This helps to build up his tactical knowledge. He learned from the best tactician in football history, PepGuardiola. So he has the ability to automate and micromanage his players’ positioning and movements, as if he is playing chess under a microscope. He gets to know how to play the modern way because he understands the most sophisticated and most complex system in the world.

At one point 9 of the 11 first choice players were out injured this season. And they didn't have a good defensive mid this season. Previously they had Busquets so there were quite large shoes to fill for anyone who took the role.
