Xavi decision to accept the offer from Barcelona was because he felt that the club really provided a service to his career while he was still active as a player. Xavi was in a dilemma when he accepted the offer, on the one hand he had predicted that this would happen (being the first to be blamed when Barcelona performance was poor) due to the club financial shortcomings, on the other hand he did not want to disappoint the club that had made its name famous.
Financial support makes Xavi job easier, he can build new strengths by bringing in quality players. So far Barcelona is starting to find its best form, its position in the La Liga standings is slightly better than before, Xavi is also able to bring Barcelona through to the quarter-finals of the UCL. The improvement in performance experienced by Barcelona recently has made Laporta want Xavi to be at Barcelona at least until next year, but the decision must be made for the good of himself and the club.
Xavi harmonious relationship with Barcelona made him willing to lead the club even though it was hit by a financial crisis. With his detailed understanding of the club, it made it easy for him to win the La Liga trophy in his first season. Things are not much different from last season, but Xavi has decided to step down as team manager, after a series of inconsistencies cost them the chance to retain the trophy.
One of Xavi biggest obstacles since taking charge of Barcelona has been financial, he has had to use the loan player option to be able to build a squad so that he can challenge Madrid dominance. Club officials should actually be more grateful in this regard, because not all coaches want to be under big demands, while on the one hand they are not given enough budget to build squad depth.
I agree that it is better for Xavi to leave, rather than all the setbacks that occur later making him the person to blame. On the other hand, Barcelona now has a chance to talk a lot in the Champions League, with the improvement in performance they have created. Even though Xavi fleet is not the favorite, who knows, Barcelona will be able to make a surprising appearance and reach the final round.
