Xavi’s Departure: Unappreciated Brilliance at Barcelona

Sacked from his Barcelona coaching position, Xavi expressed his disappointment, feeling unappreciated after clinching the LaLiga title. The Catalan giants secured victory with a 2-1 triumph against Sevilla.

Xavi, at 44, led the team to their 27th league title and amassed a record of 90 wins, 23 draws, and 29 losses in 142 matches. Despite his achievements, he was terminated last Friday.

Feeling undervalued during his tenure, Xavi mentioned facing criticism and dissatisfaction. He believes his efforts were not recognized enough, especially in the recent challenging seasons.

Barcelona, finishing second in LaLiga, struggled and faced defeats in the Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey, and Champions League. Xavi had initially resigned in January but agreed to return in April.

While Xavi admitted disagreeing with the club’s decision to part ways, he acknowledged the challenges ahead for his successor. The club is facing financial difficulties, making the coaching position even more demanding.
