Xavi STAYS as Barcelona coach - but is it the right decision?

Xavi has changed his mind about leaving Barça this summer and will now continue at the club next season, after big support from Barcelona president Joan Laporta. This announcement comes after Barça’s UCL elimination vs PSG and defeat in El Clasico vs Real Madrid.

That’s real passion that’s what’s the whole team needs to do! They have to be killers on the field, if any of you were there you would act worse. This man lived in La Masia and knows that Barca is not where is CAN be with this squad. Not to mention all the bad refereeing and VAR calls against us. And on top of that you have the media that’s constantly trying to break the team mentally. No my friends Xavi is a great Barca coach and he is the only one right now who can save us.

@@RobertOSullivan_1365 Last 6 games in the UCL witu City they have an equal H2H record with them. I don't know what your definition of losing is, but the game defines it differently. & if reallt having all the possessionand the shots is the measure for winning the game that Real Madrid are pretty average , but that's not how you win in football now s it? Like I said, if Barcelona had the grit, courage and belief that "we will get over the line one way or the other", then it wouldn't matter what the opponent is doing and the team would be in the UCL semi-final despite getting totally outplayed by PSG. But they aren't. If you had approached my comment making a more relevant point like the issue of luck, then you'd be onti something becuz clearly Real Madrid has had more luck than Barca, but in football you create your own luck, you believe and you don't give up no matter what. What we saw against PSG after the Araujo send off was a typical Barca meltdown (as insane as it sounds to say that but yes, "typical"), they just panicked, despite being 2 nil up. You don't create your own luck by doing that and you definitely can't be an elite team by falling apart like that at the slightest sight of adversity. Obviously, great teams like PSG will finish you off if you do that. Tell me something, is insane for me to say this - You take Barca and Madrid and put them in the same circumstances as Barca after the Araujo send off, same players (same Barca players) same circumstances same everything, which shirt do you trust more to do a job on PSG and go through despite the massive setback. For me, I believe if Madrid were in the same situation, they stand much MUCH higher chance of going through than, well as we saw it 4 - 1 (absolutely EMBARRASSING) Barcelona.

Everyone with a brain knows PSG is financially strong - but has nothing to do with my comment, because man for man Barca arguably has a better squad than PSG.

Now if you're talking about FC Barcelona, Klopp loves the rich history of FC Barcelona and again he also knows about the current mess and how it won't take overnight to fix those mess. With that being said, and again if you really understand football, why would a coach like Klopp get himself into a club that for the foreseeable future and perhaps longer does not have financially stability.

The guy just said he was tired and losing energy at Liverpool another club that is stable so again where is this dimwitted nonsense coming from that Klopp will come in 2025 to FC Barcelona. You do realise that FC Barcelona will never sell the club to new owners, right?? I mention that because right now FC Barcelona are in a long process of financial recovery and the reason being long is that there are no guarantees it will recover. Usually clubs sell by this point but of course not FC Barcelona

This is absolutely 100% the correct decision. Xavi is the right man to lead Barcelona forward. He’s shown it and the squad has lots of promise. He gave kids like Yamal, Fermin, Guiu, Balde, and Fort chances and they’re so full of potential. Imagine if he continues to bring the top La Masia talent to the first team.

No no you are wrong, he did well this season, football was good too. What turned this season bad was inefficieny infront of goal and Refs. I have watched this club for a very long... Xavi did well. Under the dire circumstance, he was amazing. Not every one can coach Barca, you need to have a legacy and reputtion- to have respect in the locker room. He has it in spades. We keep Xavi. He has no dm either... after freaking Busi left.

We forget that we’re not only competing with Madrid, but with the media. Xavi announced his departure so that the press would get off everyone’s back and the team could work in peace. Other clubs get to build in silence, but for us, the press NEEDS a story everyday. It felt like everyday was a new scandal. But once Xavi said he was leaving, the media left us alone, the players were clearly less stressed, and played with more confidence. If Laporta and Co can help keep the press at bay, this team can properly build.

Laporta knows we need stability and specially after coming out of debt.XAVI IS KEY

[@kristianfjordolesen8918]

I have faith in Xavi for 1 big reason. In his first season (half season) we had lost Messi and we were looking for answers. He got a few players in the winter, but mainly, when he then got the players he wanted in the summer... we won the league and Super Copa - playing very, very well in the first 6 months, and it the final too. But then we lose Busi, with Romeu as the replacement. And then we lose Dembele, who was vital to Xavi's system. This season, he didn't have the players he needed to make his team work. But Yamal has stepped up, and it seems he has found at least part of the answer in the second half of this season. With a good summer - getting a dm and keeping the key players, Xavi will make this team not only compete again, but do it playing well.

[@mamavanbree9675]

With that money you can get Amadou Onana/Zubimendi CDM, a creative winger in Nico Williams LW, and add €30M and you get Kimmich RB/CDM. We need to learn that players are a lot of times overhyped and we need to see their stats in comparison with the market value otherwise we will be really broke in couple years.

All of this without a Dmid. in his 2nd full season. Coming after winning la liga in his first season (very hard if you look at how it's really real madrid's league) but you guys still dont want him to be our coach? I guess he has to have a 100% win rate to satisfy some of our fans lol. My wish is that Barcelona fans look at the bigger picture and not cry about literally every single thing.

[@user-lq4gc5dh9r]

A lot of people are comparing Xavi and Barca with Arteta and Arsenal, and I think there’s an immense difference between the two cases. Xavi has shown to be a hotheaded person which we have the red cards to show for it while demonstrating stubbornness to adapt although there has been improvements in the latter. Arteta is much more of a composed coach and as a coach you need to be the figure that instills confidence and security in your team emotionally. Him retracting his decision to quit will demand improvement in these aspects of his coaching . An incredibly worrying scenario is if he crumbles again to the pressure to produce consistent results when both the fan base and media inevitably criticize him and the squad. Very risky decision from both the board and coach, but it also carries the potential to create a promising project such as Arteta and Arsenal.

[@ismaownes9812]

i Think that its good that Xavi is staying. i dont think and other coach could do it with this team that he already has built, but that doesnt take away the negative as you said, the bad perfomances and Xavis anger management on the sidelines. Xavi needs to set boundaries next season for example lewa playing when he obv is not inform and stuff.

[@fourthwind7826]

I do think there is a lot to be happy about. Both the champions league and clasico were well played. It was individual mistakes that took us out in those back to back games. And personally, throughout the season that has been the pattern in my opinion. I have always appreciated Xavi's style. It is miles better than those before him, and let's not forget that he finally made Barca compete again in the champions league. If it wasn't for Araujo's red card we'd still be in the champions league and people wouldn't be complaining. I think the disappointment is all down to the fact that some people just wanted to see Hansi Flick as coach, let's be honest here...
