Xavi’s recent declaration that he won’t be managing Barca’s first-team after the end of the 2023-24 campaign has opened the floodgates in terms of speculation as to who will be the next manager of the club.
Citing the impossible pressures that Barcelona managers are expected to work under, Xavi just simply threw in the towel.
In truth, he was probably never the right man for the job at the time he took it.
One can imagine Joan Laporta was hoping that lightning might’ve struck twice with Xavi’s appointment. A Pep Guardiola MKII if you will.
