After the game against Sevilla, Xavi bemoaned Barca's lack of trust in his decision-making since he took over from Ronald Koeman in November 2021.
“Honestly, I have the feeling that everything I have done has caused an earthquake these two and a half years," Xavi told the press.
"In general. We haven't had peace of mind but I just have to accept it. It is the law of football," Xavi adds.
Welcome to modern-day coaching, Xavi. No one gives you a breather and certainly not at a massive institution like FC Barcelona. The coach must think on his two feet and get his calls right 99% of the time.
Xavi was perceived as an inexperienced coach who was learning on the biggest job of his life. It attracted more critics of his style and scepticism by the decision-makers at the club.
It ends with Xavi being shown the door while an experienced Hansi Flick steps in to replace him.
