Xavi will not be a good coach imo.

Simeone had not achieved anything prior to coaching Atletico.
He might be a good coach for us
Zidane has not been tested outside of Madrid. He isn't a master technician. He keeps it simple.

I Just don't see it personally, he's very rigid in his perception of football coupled with the players we currently have not really fitting the profile for that view and it seems like its going to be a a bit of a disaster.
As for Zidane, motivation and respect is a huge part of the job so he excels in those two areas; besides football is a simple game after all.
So you're saying Pep isn't rigid in his footballing concepts and ideas? Simeone too?
I don't see why that is necessarily a limitation. To have belief and conviction in your ideas is a strength.
Having belief and unwavering conviction in your ideas becomes delusion at beyond a point.
Pep was very rigid when he started but with experience he's become more flexible, personally i believe that he wasn't flexible enough early enough which has cost his teams champions league tittles. I see a bigger issues in Xavi potentially and don't understand why people are so eager to appoint him over other potential candidates.
"When I was told that a player from Nice was called the 'African Xavi', I followed him very closely," Xavi told Le Parisien. "I didn't know [Seri] and I was entranced.
"I'm not used to seeing such talent in midfield any more. The short game, long game, tactical intelligence, long-range shooting, personality, organisation of the play... Madre mia!
"He would do so well at Barca. He can play anywhere in the middle. He is fantastic. He has what they call the Barca DNA. No doubt.?
so tired of barca dna..

Xavis quote on likes of Mane not suiting Barca as he wants 'technical' players in tight spaces is scary as well.
