Xavi and Carlo Ancelotti were among the leading voices in complaints lodged by the La Liga coaches’ committee in a meeting with the referees of the division.
The Real Madrid coach said the referees both do not understand and do not respect coaches, whose jobs are always on the line when decisions and results do not go their way.
Quique Setién, who briefly managed Barcelona in the past and was most recently sacked by Villarreal, also spoke. He said he, and many other managers, are not given compensation when they are let go.
