I don't know what was going through Laporta's mind when he fired Xavi, even though he himself was the one who initially asked Xavi to stay. Now everything becomes clear when he shows his true colors and I am quite sad about the news of Xavi's dismissal. Who would have thought that this legend who was so loyal to his former club would have to leave Camp Nou so quickly.
Laporta decides to fire Xavi must be caused by some reasons. One of the clear reasons is Xavi failed to give Barcelona a trophy in this season. Laporta can't tolerate this, he expects much on Xavi to win some trophies in this season. Laporta thinks Xavi must be able to lead Barcelona to keep competitive although they are in a financial crisis. It is surely very surprising because we know that Xavi already stated to stay in Barcelona. Now, Laporta suddenly fired him with no clear reasons.
However, I read on the media that there are some possible reasons:
https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2024/05/24/6650ad64e2704ebc9c8b4596.htmlI think most of the people agreed that this was a bad decision. Like what are they trying to achieve? They are not giving him enough money to work with, they are also not giving him more time. I understand that it was a season where they were unable to win anything. but considering the fact that they are not a club that is financially stable, I did not expect them to take this decision.
Now who are they going to bring in? Have they taken any decision about that? And I have a feeling that whoever is going to come to manage Barcelona, is going to be a downgrade. because no one is going to want to work with a club that does not have a good financial condition. And Barcelona is in huge debt. Let alone having a good financial situation. This decision was definitely a surprise for me. I thought this discussion was over when Xavi decided to stay. Because I thought obviously Barcelona authority had a hand in that.
Terminating his contract with Xavi is a good thing for Barcelona, because seeing the team this season unable to compete in La Liga or the Champions League is unreasonable.
considering that this team has many talented players and stars,
but Xavi has not been able to give his best for Barcelona,
It is natural that Barcelona management fired Xavi because they needed a coach who could compete with city rivals Real Madrid.
After Barcelona fired Xavi they managed to reach an agreement with Flick, now Flick has officially become Barcelona coach to start next season,
The coach of German descent who once brought Munich to the championship and once silenced Barcelona 8-2 is something that Barcelona cannot forget. With the good achievements achieved by Flick, now Barcelona will make Flick the leader of their team to bring back the era of Barcelona.
