The future of Xavi Hernandez appears to be hanging in the balance less than three weeks after President Joan Laporta told the world that he still believed in his ability to make Barcelona competitive next season. Xavi had decided to resign in January, but went back on his decision, declaring that he still believed in the project.
However as Laporta and the Barcelona board mull over their alternatives, those close to Xavi are hoping that this is the end of his stint in the dugout, at least for now. Sport say that at times Xavi has struggled to sleep, due to the stress and the strain on his mental and physical health at certain points.
🚨 BREAKING: The meeting between Laporta and Xavi will take place when the season is over. @Benayadachraf

After their 4-2 defeat to Girona, Xavi was more down than usual, failing to understand the attitude and the mistakes of his players. They also say that Xavi tends to take things to heart and internalise Barcelona’s issues, and despite him maintaining that he has the energy and desire to go on, being relieved of his duties could be a massive relief for Xavi.
The pressure and its impact at Barcelona are no secret, and that was one of the reasons that Xavi gave for leaving his position at the start of 2024, calling the job unenjoyable, cruel and unpleasant as an experience. Pep Guardiola left due to the toll on his mental health, and few Barcelona managers of late have not aimed shots at the media coverage of their management.
2 trophies in 3 seasons despite wasted 660mils does that to a man. Dont get me started on 1 CL in 13 years, only 2 victories in 10 latest clasicos, going nowhere economy and no money for new signings while RM pick and choose worlds finest talent and incoming trials for bribing Negreira.
PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHA
Stupid article , if he is stress then leave ..
It’s clear he doesn’t have the strength to manage Barca.
He’s not a good manager to start with. The only Barcelona team he should coach is Espanyol. Even if he has a game plan I don’t think the young players listen to him. He brought Lewandowski for big bucks and he knew what kind of player he is. Yet all the youngsters fail to pass the ball to him in the box , and that’s Xavis fault. Let him leave already . Retire few players, bring another coach.
It’s not a Xavi problem, it’s a Laporta and board problem. Deco was a mistake, swap change rearrange, always unsettling any form of stability, this player in, this player out, hiring players that don’t suit the coaching style. With the stadium renovations and linked costs, Barca will sadly shortly hit skid row with their noses up against the bank wall. Pity they didn’t consider the deal from Radcliffe and some form of privatisation.
but but the idiot on this site with 100 names more specifically JohnF in this particular instance defended LaPorca and claimed he was going to rebirth the club over
yet again hilarious to see him out to lunch, for umpteeth time ha ha
Please keep your lewd opinions to your self.
You certainly know nothing about barcelona but you keep commenting trash
Hello illiterate mongoloid
