We all know the main problem with Barcelona is not a coach; Barcelona's financial problems are the reason why Xavi couldn't function as well as expected. So I disagree with you that Xavi was relieved of his duty as Barcelona's head coach because he was incompetent. Barcelona played with most of their young players this season, which didn't give Xavi a choice but to work with them because Barcelona was not financially stable enough to buy good players. With the addition of Mbappe to the Real Madrid squad, Barcelona are likely not to win the La Liga title because they don't have a squad that can rival Real Madrid for the La Liga title when the new season starts.
Even with all the challenges, xavi in my contest did so well and is deserving of an accolade because all that he has ever done was to get the team to getting the best they can even with the available team he's got because he was unable to get more players who could help him get the desired results he wishes to get as the team wasn't in in their financial strength to get that done as they should. Xavi wasn't incompetent rather Barcelona was incapacitated to financially strengthen the team well enough and this cannot be blamed on xavi as almost every coach would have done almost same thing bas he did.
It's even possible if xavi gets the opportunity ad is hired by a team who has got the financial strength, and are able to get the kind of players he desire to work with and get their team strengthened enough, I believe he is going to do much better than he has done at Barcelona and with t he experience he has gotten from Barcelona, he will be able to manage a team even in their worse form without having to stress the teams purse, as he was able to do same at Barcelona such that with the young available players the team maintained a decent position on the table even after a series of falls.
I have another opinion, clearly for the 2023-24 season the coach has a big hand in what happens to Barcelona and so do the players. yeah, regardless of the team's unhealthy financial condition. a coach, knows the situation and conditions of a team he handles. The question is, how can the coach, with all the club's current limitations, try as hard as possible to keep the team playing competitively. Regarding Xavi Hernandez, as a Barcelona fan I liked Xavi, especially when he was still a player. However, this season, apart from the tactics and strategy which are not working well, Barcelona has been hit by a storm of injuries to several of its core players. plus, the decline in the performance of Barcelona's defense line. There were several factors that caused Barcelona to be inconsistent last season, especially the decline in the quality of play both in the front line and defense sectors. Plus, several midfielders who were mainstays were injured. This condition worsened Xavi's performance in building a more competitive squad, especially in the competition for trophies.
But that doesn't mean the problem lies with Xavi. As a Barcelona fan, there are several Xavi policies that I criticize when implementing his players and rotating them. Sometimes, I wonder why Xavi makes rotations that are not ideal in some of his squad's matches. However, it does not rule out the possibility that Barcelona is in a financially healthy condition. It's possible, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that they will bring in more reliable players as the team needs. However, that is the coach's job regardless of the condition of the club they are working with.
But, as a Barcelona supporter, I appreciate Xavi for giving us trophies, especially La Liga. However, currently Barcelona's coaching chair has changed, Hansi Flick is currently trusted to manage Barcelona. the journey will not be easy, in fact I have discussed it before. But, we haven't seen their actual performance in the new season. after all, things haven't started yet. So, let's just follow along when it's time for a new competition to be rolled out.
