However, Barcelona then succeeded in convincing Xavi to stay and coach the club. This is truly extraordinary. Yes, this means that Xavi will have to face various demands from management and fans regarding their achievements. And this will definitely again attract a lot of harsh criticism from fanatical fans who always want Barcelona to be 100% perfect. I often get annoyed with fans like that.
Xavi is wise enough, this is what Xavi said regarding his dramatic U-turn in Barcelona:

It's a truly wise U-turn change from Xavi and Barcelona.Xavi is wise enough, this is what Xavi said regarding his dramatic U-turn in Barcelona:
Quote
"I am full of hope, these three months have made me change, the players believe in it, and wise people are willing to rectify, here I am.
"It's not about ego, or money, I have energy, I see the fans are happy and proud -- it's a cocktail of reasons, above all the confidence of the president and (sporting director) Deco."

I guess these U-turn decisions from Barcelona and Xavi mainly come from Barcelona performances in Champions League. Barcelona see light of hope from Xavi that he can help the club to perform well in Champions League that is very important financial resource for the club in future. They finally decided to choose a safe option, continuing with Xavi rather than starting with a new coach with risk of losing control in a next season.
