Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has ultimately resigned due to the poor results and unconvincing performances that have followed him around all season. However his perspective on the job as a whole paints a grim picture for his successor.
Xavi spoke after his resignation about the ‘cruel’ nature of the job, and that the sharp criticism was having an impact on his health. While most would agree that his squad is sufficient for better than they are showing now, it is a far from easy position to take over.
Part of the reason Xavi chose to resign is that he saw no path to improvement. With Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo currently set to finish their loan deals at the end of the season, Barcelona have no natural options in the pivot position, at right-back or left wing for next season as things stand. Cadena SER say that Xavi is aware that the economic situation remains ‘very delicate’, and Barcelona are unlikely to have any money to spend again this summer.
Ultimately, without sales this summer or fresh investment, it looks as if they will be reduced to the odd free transfer in order to rebuild their side. Xavi clearly felt he did not have the ability to turn things around with the squad as it is, or potentially weaker than now, but that is what the new coach will be asked to do.

Even Xavi can turn things around, if media like AF give him break and allow him to work. Those so called ‘high profile coaches’ like Kroop it took him how many seasons to win a trophy at Liverpool?
You got my support bro from BARCA FANS Kenya edition.

As for now, Xavi should continue working, no foreign coach will agree to work with a club without money. after all it's only ten points apart,things can turn around, its a long way to go.
I agree with you CHAMP all the way from KENYA.

I think you have misunderstood me man, I meant that in the right back position instead of investing for a right back in the market, we should trust and promote Hector Fort. That doesnt mean we will win LaLiga or UEFA no. that means we will be saving some money because i understand the huge debt that we have currently. The problem with us fans is we want results as soon as possible. For the next coach we need to give him time to rebuild this club. We cant win UEFA with kids. Currently our club has so many youngsters, Pedri, Gavi, Balde, Cubarsi, Fort, Lamine, Roque, Lopez, Guiu and so on and so forth. Yes they have a huge potential to deliver but that cant be overnight. We need time and in my opinion it would have been best if we got someone like Pep who has the talent to nature young players into beasts. We need to minimize the number of players we buy and maximize the young players we produce and nature ourself.
yea sorry bro for sure those guys fort and other are great

I feel like in goal Ter Stegen and Pena we are set Defense we need to sort things out, first we bring back our loanee Riad from Betis. Left footed to partner Araujo as the future. Back them with Inigo and Cubarsi. Sell Kounde and Christensen to bring that cash then buy Arnau Martinez so that we have five centre backs with one or two who can play as full back/centre back. Sign Cancelo if possible and promote Hector and on the left keep Balde and sign back up. If we fail on Cancelo then okay we will have Arnau Martinez. Defensive midfielder sign Zubimendi and sell Romeu and release roberto. Then sell Lewandowski and Raphinha and sign Nico Williams and a striker and bring back Fati.

That's why I don't support the idea of letting him (Xavi) left, because I don't think there's any high profile couch who'll take barca in this situation

A good and experienced coach will still turn Barcelona to a strong team.
