Xavi Hernandez’s Coaching Dilemma: unsettling statistics cast shadows over FC Barcelona’s Performance

A deeper examination into Xavi Hernandez’s coaching stint at FC Barcelona reveals statistics that have raised eyebrows and heightened concerns. Since assuming the managerial role, Xavi has recorded the lowest win percentage among all coaches in the last fifteen years. With the current win rate standing at 62.16%, he trails behind even Quique Setien, who boasted a 64%-win rate.

The only coach with a worse record than the 43-year-old is the highly criticized Ronald Koeman, whose win percentage stands at 58.2%.

These unsettling statistics have become a focal point as Barcelona faces mounting challenges, evident in their recent 2:4 defeat to Girona FC.

The loss not only pushed the club further away from the league’s summit but has intensified criticisms of Xavi’s coaching decisions and the team’s overall performance.

As the smaller Catalan team, Girona FC, seizes the top spot following Real Madrid’s misstep against Real Betis, the pressure is mounting on Xavi Hernandez.

With Barcelona struggling to secure convincing victories and exhibiting lackluster gameplay, Xavi must now find effective solutions to re-establish Barcelona as a competitive force.

The failure to reclaim the summit could potentially jeopardize Xavi’s position as the head coach.
