I remember that Xavi said (even when he was about to quit) that he needed a break of a year in order to rest and recover. Plans may change, but probably for this he must receive some interesting offer. With all due respect, he has not yet outgrown the status of a “beginner” coach, so it is unlikely that he will receive it, he needs to choose some ordinary club to prove himself or wait for the mood to change in Barcelona and return there.
I am seriously one of those people that actually think whenever a manager gets sacked or leaves his position probably because of poor management and team performance they shouldn’t rush back into getting another job. Taking a year off your job doesn’t only get you a free time with your family but also gives you the luxury to watch your tactics and back test matches that didn’t went well. You can use that period as a form of sabbatical. Xavi to me just like some younger managers rushed back into managing a club as huge as Barcelona with having a good record or probably a pattern they can boost of that they have used in the past and has worked for them.
This isn’t praising Xavi but to me he has done well with this Barcelona side who have more problems than just the one we see on the pitch. The internal struggles the club faces could create a difficult environment for even the top managers. Put this Xavi in a smaller club he would have been on the news now about been exceptional but the pressure at Barcelona is just too big for him to shoulder at this stage in his managerial career. For me he should take a one year break and later come back
Why should Xavi take a break as he has had two good seasons, last season he won La Liga and this season he managed to beat Girona, who had a phenomenal season, as did Real Madrid. Of course this season was worse than the previous one, mainly because of Barcelona's poor play in defense, because the team scored a lot and scored in almost every game. Transfers that made the club were not the most successful, so in general we can say that last season Xavi worked perfectly, and this season a little worse, but still a complete failure not to call.
Xavi is still quite young and can perceive new ideas and just now it is necessary to gain experience, and he will rest later, in retirement, if he wants, because the example of Ancelotti and Spalletti shows that even at the age of 60 you can become a champion coach.
