Xavi to quit 'cruel, unpleasant' job as Barcelona coach at end of season - Sports - The Jakarta Post

After elimination in the Copa del Rey by Athletic Bilbao this week and a thrashing by Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final earlier in January, Xavi said he made the decision for the good of the club.

I think this is the best for the club, the performance is abysmal, yes you can’t blame Xavi for Barca trainwreck but the result also tells the story.

      Good point. Unlike certain other managers, you can actually trust that he’s telling the truth about things. Thanks for reminding me 🙂

        And well if you think about it, one of the big reasons for him is probably the tight budgets under FSG he could have won more a bit of more spending, why would he go to another club thats financially in shambles, I can see him at Real after ancelotti or Bayern, but probably the germany job is gonna be first for him

          As a Liverpool fan, I’d absolutely HATE for him to go to Real! Other than maybe one of the Manchester clubs, that’s the absolute worst case scenario IMO.

          Germany could be great, though, especially since it would (most of the year) be much less hectic than managing a major club that plays a million matches per season.
