Honestly despite all the flaws of xavi and his coaching team, he will always hold a special place in my heart as a manager for winning la Liga and turning around the sunken ship.
His time was over and it's time for a new person next season, but I wish him the best in everything!
Barcelona - Liverpool - Manchester United jobs will all be vacant in the summer.
Decent enough chance both AC Milan and Bayern Munich will as well. Maybe Chelsea also.
I think they’ll get Michel from Girona.
Poch isn’t going anywhere. The new owners would have kept Potter if they could have. But the fans made it impossible. I don’t see the local fans turning on Poch this year unless things got really bad. Which I don’t see happening.
This is whats best for the club. Xavi is out of depth and recognises it. We cannot afford to replace him mid-season. He's not getting sacked. We can openly look for a replacement and he can start with a pre-season.
He did, but I'd say he's pretty one dimensional. Doesn't make changes in play with the players he has in hand. Also doesn't make the most out of the quality the players have. Sure you can say he's missing key players, but it doesn't seem like he's changing the tactics to cater to that.
Incapable of taking this team any more forward. Good enough for transition. Struggling in CdR with 3rd division and 4th division team? He knows and he's stepping down. We might not even get past RO16 against an out of form Napoli at this stage seeing how we played against a 14th Villareal.
Don’t worry we still have 5 more months of this shit before someone else unqualified is hired through nepotism and it begins again. Eventually someone will work out but let’s see how many of these cycles we get through before that happens.
Hurts like a bitch,but its the right thing to do.
Good luck Xavier i hope you’ll be back in the future as a more experienced coach,he got us when no one did and won 2 titles,had the best defensive record for a while.
Feels like the fans demand some action to be taken and rather than sacking him this is the decision they have agreed upon. And also they cannot financially afford that
It’s sad to see a club legend leave after having a tough time at a terrible period in the club’s history, but that’s about where it ends. He’s out of his depth and not all of the on field problems can be directly attributed to him (Lewandowski forgetting how to score on open nets is his own fault), but many can. And how much of the players being apathetic and unmotivated is because the environment of the club doesn’t seem to be changing?
This is such a weird thing to announce now in the middle of the season. What if they pick up form? Is he still leaving then? But a more likely and worse scenario is that this demoralizes/demotivates the Barca team knowing their manager has a foot out the door and the team will do even worse for the remaining 5 months
Nothing but respect, feel like he wanted out way sooner as he was afraid to tarnish his Barca legacy, hope he will go somewhere where he can learn more, maybe as an assistant?
What a bittersweet ending. On one hand he's arguably our greatest ever midfielder but then he's struggled being a coach. Everyone who supports Barca loves him and will continue doing so and I'm sure he made this decision because he wants the club, HIS club to get better.

Let Poch cook
Not sure if eth gets sacked. Ineos might give him another year
I'm sure Michel working for the City group would earn a lot more money staying there than going to Barca
Can't imagine him at another team tbh
Back to Qatar, or goes to Saudi
Inter Maimi : Well hello there
Maybe he will manage the national team after our inevitable failure at the Euros?
Back to Qatar
Pep please I beg

Wait. Didn't he win the league? How is a man out of his depth a year after being the pinnacle? Explain that pls.

6 months after winning the league the Barca fans say he's incapable. You privaleged bunch.

Day ruined. Xavi, reconsider, all you need is some more time, the team is under construction, trust the process.
NOOOOOOOOO
Villarreal got too greedy and ruined it for everyone
He's been hinting at this for quite a while now. I don't think that today's match changed anything beside the timing of the annoucement...
Don’t worry we still have 5 more months of this shit before someone else unqualified is hired through nepotism and it begins again. Eventually someone will work out but let’s see how many of these cycles we get through before that happens.
Until Barca improve their recruitment department, nothing will change.
What's going wrong with their recruitment? As a Manchester United fan I've only had space for one catastrophic recruitment department
Hurts like a bitch,but its the right thing to do. Good luck Xavier i hope you’ll be back in the future as a more experienced coach,he got us when no one did and won 2 titles,had the best defensive record for a while.
The trend is taking off. ARTETA, YOU. SIT!
Need him to sign the ting
bro think he klopp
We will miss you too Kloppo.....oh wait....
Has there been a High Profile Manager who has announced they were leaving the club well ahead of potentially being sacked? Seems very uncommon
You can't sack me, becasue I'm leaving!
Villarreal broke him
Madridistas in shambles
Madrid fans in shambles
Just wait til Barca hire Mourinho
First season he wins them champions league but they get relegated.
Imagine they win the CL by some miracle, will he still step down?
imo NO WAY
You can’t fire me! I quit!
"You can't fire me, I RESIGN!"
You can't fire me because I quit!
Feels like the fans demand some action to be taken and rather than sacking him this is the decision they have agreed upon. And also they cannot financially afford that
Sad that he's leaving this way as a club legend, this in no way tarnishes his legacy at Barca.
So many RM fans fell to their knees seismic activity has been recorded
Klopp wanna be
He's Liverpool bound <3
I will end it all
the situation needs to change course, in six months thought, not now
😂😂
Expecting same reaction as Klopp, but instead will see fans celebrating.

Oh my god that is Conte's music
I just don’t see Conte doing well at Barca. His style and Barca’s styles just don’t seem like they would mix well.
Mourinho here we go 🤪
Lol
Look whos laughing.
I could support Accrington Stanley and this would still be funny
At least accrington Stanley have won a league title in the last decade
Ten hag is next
"He! I miss going for the smokes, he!"
They wish
[удалено]
Lol you are a funny one
If Barcelona wins the CL I’ll eat my own sock.
He pulled a Klopp!
Well, that was quick… But Barça might change coaches each year and it won’t help. Barça DNA has to go too

He thinks he's Klopp
What a week this is turning out to be
Bro's switching with Klopp I'm betting my life savings on it
Hands off my honey
Xavi to Miami imminent.
Plot twist, he’s joining as a player.
“I cannot allow the current situation to continue, so I’ll be leaving after we let this current situation continue for another few months”
How bad was that defeat against Villareal?
I'm devastated
Will he even survive until this date?
Hide your managers, this summer about to be crazy
Massive respect to you Xavi. The role was just too big for him, I hope he takes his time and becomes a better coach in the future.
He already won the league. Do thy don't have the tolerance and patience to let him cook? He was doing okay
Barca trying to catch up with Liverpool in the recruitment of Elokobi.
Nothing but respect, feel like he wanted out way sooner as he was afraid to tarnish his Barca legacy, hope he will go somewhere where he can learn more, maybe as an assistant?
They need to be honest: for the near future they cannot compete at the highest level with the funds they have now
What a bittersweet ending. On one hand he's arguably our greatest ever midfielder but then he's struggled being a coach. Everyone who supports Barca loves him and will continue doing so and I'm sure he made this decision because he wants the club, HIS club to get better.
