No, its not right decision sacked Xavi Hernandez from his position after success achievement won La Liga tittle last season with Barcelona get trouble financial condition. I think Barcelona management has huge expectation should winning all trophies in this season but lack support with financial for signing some players. Xavi Hernandez have promoted some youth players in this season how to make balance well with financial condition and the management not spending much money for signing some players except most of them as free agent for signing Iñigo Martínez and getting loan for João Cancelo and João Felix.
I don't think Barcelona will have better performance for next season under Hansi flick if still difficult for spending much money to sign new players, its the same faced by Xavi Hernandez how to make effective without spending money for signing new players.

The reason for Xavi dismissal is not as you said, friend, so far Laporta is quite satisfied with Xavi performance in Barcelona and even during Barcelona last game we can hear how Barcelona fans continue to shout Xavi yes and Laporta no, which means that the level of fan satisfaction with Xavi performance at Barcelona is of course very high, besides that when Xavi has decided to step down Barcelona, management and also Laporta asked for Xavi to stay at least until Xavi contract at Barcelona expires in 2025, and even before Barcelona continued to urge Xavi to extend his contract at Barcelona, the main reason Laporta fired Xavi was none other than Laporta was angry because Xavi said if: it is difficult to compete with Madrid for the title because Barcelona economy is in difficult conditions at the moment.

Xavi remarks triggered Laporta to fire Xavi, I think maybe Barcelona fans will also agree if Xavi actually at this time has made Barcelona actually much better than the previous two seasons, indeed Xavi failed to win the championship trophy this season but at least without financial support from the management, Barcelona is still able to compete fiercely in La Liga and even they can go far in the Champions League this season,  I think it will be difficult for other coaches to do like Xavi today who continued to build a team with a makeshift squad without any money to be able to buy new players to strengthen Barcelona, so, when Xavi was blamed for not being able to meet Laporta expectations, shouldn't Laporta be the one who deserves to be blamed for not providing enough financial support to achieve those expectations?  

Since Todd Boehly led this club he has always made decisions by easily changing coaches and wasting a lot of money to buy lots of young players but it turns out his potential is not as expected, only Cole Palmer stands out the most among all of them and currently Todd Boehly has made a big decision by not extending Pochettino's contract at Chelsea and preferring to change coaches again for next season even though Pochettino has brought Chelsea to a better ranking.

Being in a European tournament or finishing in 6th place is a good result achieved by Chelsea this season after a series of bad results last season but unfortunately Chelsea management is not grateful and demands more from the coach. They feel that Pochettino's performance is still far from the expectations of Chelsea fans, but for me what what Pochettino did was a good result compared to last season.

This was probably still related to the conflict between Xavi and Laporta and i strongly believe this is the main problem that was triggering laporta to sack him. I remember Xavi saying negative things about Barcelona during his interview and laporta was so angry after he was hearing the bad opinions from xavi. It also triggered Laporta's rage toward Xavi which in result xavi gets sacked from the club. This could be the reason why Barcelona fired him.

The club that knows if Xavi does not even respect Laporta. So the team decides to let him go. I'm relieved that Barcelona will return to its mediocre form under Hansi flick. Thank you so much, xavi.


Experience for what? he is a flop. Barcelona is just replacing a good enough coach with a flop coach. This is obviously a setback for the club following hansi was rarely having good result in managing the big club.

I can't even believe that you said him as a good coach.

Did you say a season? Isn't this Ten Hag's second season?
Comparing Ten Hag to Xavi is not very fair for Xavi, is it? Xavi has been at the club for 2 and a half seasons and he has a league title and the Spanish Super Cup to his name, what does Ten Hag have? Now the trophies aside, have you been impressed with the way Ten Hag handles Manchester United? Look at the way he handles the players, that shows poor management. Look at how the team plays, very awful. Barcelona wants to fire Xavi because they're a big club and a big club wants results.

There are a few things you look at before giving a coach more time at the club even though he's failing. One of those things is how he instils confidence confidence on his squad. Now let me ask you this, do Manchester United players believe they can win a trophy next season? Do they believe in themselves? What motivation do they have? Indeed, United don't have a good squad, but the players should believe in themselves and that would only happen if the coach instils that confidence in them.

You talked down on Arsenal, and that's cool. I'm history, Manchester United have a better mentality than them, but this isn't history. The difference between Manchester United and Arsenal right now is that Arsenal believe they'll win a trophy next season (even though they might not) but I can't say the same for Manchester United

Laporta decides to fire Xavi must be caused by some reasons. One of the clear reasons is Xavi failed to give Barcelona a trophy in this season. Laporta can't tolerate this, he expects much on Xavi to win some trophies in this season. Laporta thinks Xavi must be able to lead Barcelona to keep competitive although they are in a financial crisis. It is surely very surprising because we know that Xavi already stated to stay in Barcelona. Now, Laporta suddenly fired him with no clear reasons.

However, I read on the media that there are some possible reasons: https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2024/05/24/6650ad64e2704ebc9c8b4596.html

I don't think Hansi Flick is a really experienced coach although he already won some trophies. In his career, he only managed Bayern Munich and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. So, he still has no experience to manage many teams. I'm not sure if he can adapt quickly in Barcelona. It won't be easy to adapt with a team like Barcelona which has complicated problem. TBH, I'm not sure if he can do better than Xavi in his first season. Real Madrid is in the best form, Hansi Flick probably faces a very difficult situation in the next season. I doubt if Hansi Flick won't stay a long time in Barcelona.  

It is reported that in the remaining one year of his contract, Xavi did not demand any salary from Barcelona at all and he only asked the club to pay the salaries of its staff. I think Xavi's goodness cannot be counted and Barcelona is lucky to have a legend like him. If it were another coach, maybe he would have enough to demand.

If we remember, Hansi Flick is a former Bayern Munich coach who humiliated Barcelona with an iconic score of 8-2 and now Barcelona has brought him in as their new coach. Nobody really knows the future, even for Hansi Flick, who will eventually become their coach for next season.

Juventus has practically taken Di Gregorio, rated as the best goalkeeper in Serie A in 2023/2024 for a fee of around 20 million euros.

There is therefore talk of a possible and probable sale of Szczesny.
Not long ago he was wanted by Arsenal, now honestly not much is known about it.

I think that is the right decision, because when I see that Xavi will continue with Barcelona next season, I said that Barcelona will not do anything next season because this season he sure that he won't continue after the end of the season, and later they said he will add another year with the club. Now that Laporta sacks Xavi and brings Hansi flick, we will see how he performs next season, but I think he is a nice coach because he helped Munich win many trophies, including the champion league,I believe he will do well for Laporta next season, fulfilling his dreams and winning the title for him. Barcelona's current goal will be to transfer new players to the team, making the team stronger than before, and challenging Real Madrid because without new players in Barcelona, they will continue to donate the league next season if there is no change in the players.

Abramovich made Chelsea an international power when he bought it. He is a genius who also understands football. He is also a good businessman. He sold the club because he had some problems and the newly acquired team cannot compete with Abramovich in this regard. Abramovich was a president who also achieved success with Mourinho. Chelsea got some potential at the end of this year. I hope they will be better next season and be in the title race like they used to be.

When I saw this news, I was wondering if the president of Barcelona was in good shape, I was wondering if the president of Barcelona had his brain working in perfect condition or if his brain simply stopped working, because it's not It's normal for a person who has a good brain, who thinks well, to fire Xavi to hire a coach who hasn't won titles in the last 2 years in a big team. I agree with everything you said and to add, next season Barcelona will not be able to finish even in 3rd position, they will be a disaster in the league and in the European champions league. It's not easy to manage a team like Barcelona, Xavi did it because he knows Barcelona very well

Everyone is praising Mbappé about his decision to leave the PSG and join any other club for having his mark in game because in last few years he has enough money from this club with things were never been ideal for the win into Champions League which is target of the management and Mbappé both.

There is no doubt Real Madrid is having rich history of winning titles and players those contribute for this also having good name in soccer history so he is also looking for the trophies in front of his name which bring him in limelight for the title and many achievements which he deserves but can't do at PSG now his next destination is surely going to be better for his future, and he needs to be had his best for grabbing things from challenging situation.

There must be a distinction between coaching the national team and coaching a club, which are different things. Being successful at a club does not necessarily mean being successful at the national team. examples, for example when Argentina won, did Scaloni have time to record many previous achievements in major European competitions? Therefore we cannot be sure whether Barcelona in Hans Flick hands will be good or not until next season he will be able to prove many people's doubts. Personally this is a challenge in itself for Hans Flick who has to manage Barcelona in the midst of a situation where the team does not trust each other, both Barcelona players and management. Hans Flick must be able to restore the players sense of confidence to face next season's competition. Even though Barcelona didn't win the title this season, they can still try next season, their rivals are still Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and now Girona is a candidate for a strong team, provided that Girona is able to be consistent.

In football everything looks cruel, it doesn't matter whether the person is a legend or not, but if the club is no longer interested in him then the person will be thrown away. In fact, this is a very common thing in football, it is something we will continue to see.
Maybe we can see how Cristiano Ronaldo ended when he returned to Manchester United, even though he wasn't appreciated there in the slightest, even though we know that when Ronaldo returned to Manchester Unite it was like he was back at home, but the atmosphere at home was different, unlike when he was there. played first in his youth.
Maybe in the future we will see the same thing and we can even see more than this. Nothing is eternal in football, even if someone gives something great for his team, then when he can no longer provide what he wants, he will be removed.

The FA Cup is surely important for the teams in England but now as we are having the latest development in Premier League about Eric Ten hag job it's clearly indicating he is all set for going out of the job from Manchester United because things are clearly indicating now they are looking for the new coach which can bring better things here and end of this instability which is having negative impact on teams performance and many are feeling Manchester United is now having no winning mentality with just bunch of crap system which is eating huge funds without giving any good result.

We are having too much talk about Eric Ten Hag future with now mostly are feeling he deserves another season at this job but look like all is gone in vain even now win the cup is also not guaranteed to stay at this job with as situation going most chances we can have two strong candidates for job with Zideane and Pochettino are good and can bring change of mindset and having good results at this club which are important for them.

Hans Flick is a failed coach, he had a good record with Bayern Munich because this team is already strong in the first place. But, during his stays in German's national team for 2 years, he didn't give any contribution and German lose their legacy as one of strongest team. German only a mediocre team right now, they have many good players, but they can't become a champion.

I don't expect Barcelona will change at all, probably it will become worse.

Atmosphere at Chelsea is completely down with the sacking of Pochettino because things were looking impressive and fans were expecting something positive for the next season, but suddenly we are having another dilemma which is going to have huge negative impact because same bad decision done by Boehly which bring this team at the terrible point and now again all indications are clearly going for the another terrible season which can bring disastrous for the fans which were feeling happy.

As many mentioned end of the 2024 is having not ideal for the many coaches because they are losing their jobs despite having good ends but no one can stop this with management and owners are having some serious troubles with the few things which they are not going to have into them now as Pochettino gone we are having another rumour despite any result Eric Ten Hag is also set for exit from the Manchester United which is going to be another drama in Premier League.

It's sad that Barcelona threw away its legend in a bad way, but in football this is considered normal because no great player can surpass their club.
However, what makes me sad is the way Barcelona treats its legends who have fought hard to give their best, even giving Barcelona the title. shouldn't be treated like that.
yes I agree, with the arrival of Hansi Flick Barcelona I hope it can return to its glory days but I think it will take time for Hansi Flick to be able to prove it

Yes, Chelsea is not just business for Abramovic, but he needs achievements and as many trophies as possible. What's interesting about Abramovic is that he always chooses coaches who have the potential to win for Chelsea, not only seeing him win at previous clubs, his focus on who is considered capable of becoming a successful coach at Chelsea. Abramovic is a genius in making decisions, at least that's what I see from Abramovic's personality. This is different from the current Chelsea owner, current board members is too slow to make decisions, so since last season Chelsea failed to enter the UCL zone.

I don't want to believe that there's any justification to how Barcelona president Laporta handled the issue between the club management and Xavi Hernandez. The young manager had already seen that his time at the club has elapsed and told everyone that he was gonna leave at the end of the season but the club president and the management convinced him to remain at the club beyond the end of the current season only to sack him few weeks later after he agreed to remain at the club.
It's totally disrespectful if you ask me and shouldn't be melted on a man like Xavi Hernandez who has really given his all to the club. Hansi Flick is an experienced manager but I think it'll be difficult for him to succeed at Barcelona especially now that the club is struggling in with their finances. He'll have to manage the current squad at Barcelona to succeed and that I think will be a very difficult task for him.
