A really badly underrated manager. His announcement of voluntary resignation is a real misfortune for Barcelona. Barcelona's football philosophy works together for a long time and moves like an organism. Xavi is a person who can complete such a process. Barcelona's lack of patience disappoints me greatly. It's a process, not a result. Barcelona should.

It is above all a business, no results, no money, no club.

[@whentheygolow_wegohigh7306]

​@@wokeaf1337Money is important. Fame and survival are important, too. But the club's football direction is more important. Barcelona should bring players who fit Barcelona's philosophy and raise talented youth to the first team. It's not an amateur way of bringing anyone in and putting it in. Xavi is the essence of Barcelona and was the right man to take on the painful process. It's the club's worst mistake that he didn't get as much patience as Arteta did. The illusion that the next successor will solve everything will come down to a waste of money again.

Say what you want about Xavi. But he has NEVER thrown any of his players under the bus. NEVER. He’s the one taking the heat at the press conference and fans. I even see how Barça fans try to shame him for “making excuses.” But what do you want him to do? Half of his key players are injured, and a few stars retired. The fact that he lead this team to third place should earn him compliments, not mockery. There are certain things a coach can’t just fix overnight. It takes players and coach time and patience to fix. It’s a process.

[@nonphixion4771]

I think what fans don’t like is that he doesn’t trust the youth in games.

[@gerardromerogiralt6713]

@@nonphixion4771 He's playing with Lamine, Cubarsí, both of them in the starting lineup often, Fort and Guiu sometimes, Fermín as well... He trust them and of course La Masia, because Xavi knows that the players who understand better Barça's phillosophy are the ones who played this system for many years.

Shame to all the Barca players that let this man down. He did his best as a coach 😢

[@HellxAngelz]

During a new era and rebuilding the team in the process this man helped us win La Liga 2022/2023. I’m so proud of Xavi and wish he wasn’t leaving. I know he’s capable of being a great coach and sadly things aren’t going as well as planned this season so far but we’re still in it! The pressure unfortunately has gotten to him, they’re making this man break on the pitch. He defends his players during the game that’s why he complains(and gets an undeserving yellow card to be provoked) and you see the passion he has for Barcelona when he does, he clearly wants to win. I hope we do great in the champions league this season and possibly win la liga again, it’s still very possible. The players needs to be held accountable for the teams form right now too, not just him, the players get tired too quickly, give up or just are inconsistent with making goals. He won us la liga at least in his full 1st year as a coach, he deserves props and gratitude for accomplishing that so fast! If he truly leaves then I hope he returns to coach Barca again soon, he doesn’t deserve this, and yes he’s made mistakes but no one is perfect. Let’s try and win la liga and especially the champions league please Barca I know you’re capable of doing so, it’s all in your hands now, it’s right within your grasp. Good luck and God Bless.💙❤

[@Justice4alles]

I have been a Barcelona supporter (not fan) since 1985. To be a coach for FCB is the worst thing. You have to deal with Madrid press creating constant rumors to destabilize, Barcelona press always creating unnecessary arguments about something not needed, and on top of it, you have to win and in a certain way. In the past, Barca always had the money to hire the best players, now we cannot compete, and Xavi made us win La Liga a year after he arrived, when we were in 9th position and couldn´t beat a single team after Messi´s departure. Gracies Xavi.

[@tombardsley3081]

Given the differences between the team talks I've seen, Xavi is the better choice

[@Dylan-cr5ub]

No at the moment not, Flick is the best choice because the team is getting out of balance, too relaxed, training sessions are not that good, medical staff is garbage... Also Xavi's decision-making and experimenting in-game is horrible sometimes. Like for example he didn't let Vitor play last game against Napoli UCL and on many more occasions he did this with other players on important moments. Don't get me wrong Xavi is an amazing coach but not for the long term in Barca because of his experience... and that's where Flick will be better i believe. This season our team lacked passion, backbone, striving, strong physical, and desire to win... while we did a lot in the transfer market last summer. We've lost big to Real Madrid, lost to smaller teams a lot or consumed a lot of goals from smaller teams... Flick needs to be our next head coach there is no other better option available at the moment. His passion, desire, tactics... can bring Barca back to the top with smart transfers, and don't let me remind you that Mbappe will probably join Real next season so it will be worse if it works out between Mbappe and Real.

[@tombardsley3081]

[@FortMinorXFC]

The problem with barca is that they have a very unhealthy success philosophy in the club like xavi said. They still think its 2010. they set way too high expectations for themselves. Winning the league last year of course was a huge achievement. they thought they can repeat it this year in a more offensive style but the team is not ready to compete with real or even an experienced athletico madrid yet girona. Barca really needs to grow back into a team where everyone can play with a blindfold on. Real brought in these new players step by step and gave them time to develop, learning from their predecessors. Whoever comes next to Barca needs time for a project like klopp at liverpool.
