Anyone else feel like clubs are simultaneously losing their minds when it comes to managers?

Bayern Munich: We are the "Hollywood FC club"
Barcelona: Hold my camera

Moral of the story, take a bow when the ovation is loud.

[Whatmobiledeal]

Imagine coming 2nd, 1st and 2nd in league and then getting sacked?! Football is a crazy game

[MrKaravaj]

Right or wrong decision doesnt matter - Barcelona made this ugly and disrespected Xavi! WIth that said, Flick is a great coach, congrats to Barca for that part though

Not only we a big mess we have to clean up, but I think Xavi is being disrespected too much 😢😢 his legacy will not be ruined 💙❤️

So poor Xavi the way to kick him out was so badly.

[Ealoseum]

Reminds me of the scene from The Office where the guy tries to quit and Michael fires him 🤣

[atifsaeed]

As a Madrid fan, I want to wish Xavi the best of luck in his future. It may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for him. As far as Hansi flick is concerned, he wants to sign four different players including Bernardo Silva. All the best!

[humphreyobanor]

Barca probably rushed the flick opportunity because they heard that ten hag was getting sacked

Being honest I love xavi as a legend but the situation at Barca and the style we currently playing I don't know if he is the one, we won a league but we didn't look convincing thank you xavi.

Bruh I’m happy he’s leaving. Xavi’s football makes me cry. It makes Barca look talentless😂. Like before y’all criticize Laporta remember he pulled levers and spent 220mil to support Xavi. Y’all were teasing him for selling club assets and now y’all hate him when he sacks this mid manager

[ZAGIDI]

Xavi for Manchester United, Chelsea or Bayern Munich

[eL--RaL]

The whole world is always watching Barça with 4 eyes, scared to see our potential rise..
They troll us with FEAR undercover
The Catalan Kings will rise again
The world isn't ready for Flick's Barça 💙❤️ 🐐🔥

Clubs Don't have patience. They don't want to have long-term plans . They spend huge players so 🤷 😕 I kinda understand. Expectations are high

[Tacticfreak]

That's why I love Stevie, he is honest. Xavi was treated badly but we all know this guy doesn't have the experience to manage a top club especially with Barcelona and the pressure around the club. Welcome Hansi Flick, I pray he delivers.

[AtleticoCool]

Simeone stays and then the tactics same thing -____- no matter what happens

[antiwokehuman]

Why would anyone trust laporta after what he did to messi

[sdrfgt]

LAPORTA must be delusional. They can't even afford a Mars bar, so what Xavi said is spot on... they can't compete with Real Madrid, nor will they for another 20 years

[jacorust]

3 points worse than last season and it's seen as a disaster
