Following the dismissal of Ronald Koeman , FC Barcelona had started looking for a new coach. And after long negotiations and a few twists and turns, the Catalan club finally secured the services of Xavi. After two years of loyal service to Al-Sadd in Qatar, the Spanish technician has returned to where he has practically spent his entire career, a “dream come true” for the former FC Barcelona midfielder. Now a new challenge awaits Xavi . Determined to get the Blaugrana back on track, the 2010 world champion sent a big message to his squad.
“If they compare me to Guardiola, it's more than positive”
During his official presentation, in remarks reported by Fabrizio Romano , Xavi affirmed that he was going to do a lot of work for his team in order to obtain very good results, paying tribute in passing to Pep Guardiola , with whom he has been regularly compared lately: “We have to work a lot every day. We are Barcelona, the best club in the world. This is the only way to have great results. We want to offer great football. If they compare me to Guardiola, that's more than positive. Pep is the best trainer in the world. “
