Passed on the bench of FC Barcelona from 2021 to 2024, Xavi will have left a less unforgettable memory at the club than during his player career. Returning to the interview period, the Catalan by birth recognized his wrongs, who pushed him to leave the club. “I admit I made some management errors at Barça. The departure of Sergio Busquets forced us to rethink our style of play, so I opted for a midfielder with three offensive players … But that was not always effective. Barça's expectations for me as a coach were very high because of my journey as a player. I was deeply linked to Barcelona … Sometimes it played against me “said the former Roja and Barça midfielder.
Passed by Al-Sadd, Qatar, his coach career has experienced violent acceleration, and Xavi is today without a contract, waiting for another club to give him a chance. “Maybe I was too emotional, but this experience was a real lesson for the future”analyzes the third of the Ballon d'Or 2010.
