With all due to respect to Xavi but its not even a debate.. Once again its shown world class player doesn't mean world class manager, there are only few who were both and sadly Xavi isn't one of them.. He's not a bad coach at all but he's just not that elite level like Flick,Pep,Klopp and elite club like Barca.. World Class player but to be honest a little above average coach.. That 22/23 season was his maximum as coach and he won the league but failed miserably in Europe.. He would probably be much better assistant than coach.. Or perhaps perfect for B team..

Most one sided forum manufactured rivalry since this one

Mbappe vs Rashford - Taking the L from Lukaku

With the first week of the Champions league over, it was interesting looking back and thinking we might have a couple new interesting rivalry's developing. Kane and Lukaku have been battling domestically for arguable two years now but with Lukaku finally having that higher platform, it's been...

Right now, I think it’s fair to say that Xavi isn’t a world-class coach—at least not yet.

His main strength seems to be spotting young talent and helping them grow, and honestly, that might be the only thing he was really good at.

When it comes to tactics, building a solid defense or attack, setting up pressing, or even the physical preparation of the team—he’s lacking. He also seems way too fixated on copying Pep’s style, even though it’s pretty clear that it doesn’t really work in today’s game the way it used to.

What really surprises me, though, is that despite everything he achieved as a player, he didn't manage to put together a strong coaching staff. Most of the people around him were either relatives or friends, which was disappointing.

That's horrendous. He has absolutely no idea how to coach a press. It's one thing being outplayed by the opponents' brilliance but totally different when you actively make it so easy for them.


Just look at the press here and how easy it is for Shakhtar to play through Barca. The pressing routine here is absolutely laughable.


Zero organisation, intensity and non-existent pressing triggers. So passive and confused.


Also, people forget that despite marketing himself as a "Barca DNA" coach and a Pep/Cruyff disciple, Xavi had zero clue on how to coach progressive patterns of play in possession. His tactics with the ball were very similar to Moyes at West Ham. So boring. This is a form of 'anti football' too. @Birdy


I hope he goes to United. Redcafe would annihilate him. 🍿

Yup.
He tried to play positional football with total rigidity, without understanding how to create space.

Of course, he has 0 chance at UTD
If Amorin and ETH who are each 100 times better coach than Xavi could not, Xavi will get humiliated there
