Barça’s sporting director has provided some clarification regarding the situation of coach Xavi.
Deco, one of the main leaders of FC Barcelona, claims that coach Xavi has all the necessary support from the Blaugrana management.
Xavi has nothing to fear
The Portuguese insisted that the team’s recent setbacks have not changed the board’s opinion towards the young coach. He told Efe: “I hope his project will be long, that we are at the beginning and not in the middle. From the beginning, when I was with the president (Joan Laporta), I strongly defended the arrival of Xavi, because Barça needed to rebuild with people who know the club. »
“He won a very important championship and he is building a team for the present and the future, and this is the way forward, added on 2e Ballon d’Or 2004. We all know that it is important that the results come and we also want to play good football, but I believe that Xavi has all the elements to succeed.”
With Barça, Xavi has a points average of 2.07/game. Of the last 6 coaches who coached this team, only Ronald Koeman did worse in this area (1.96).
