Xavi Hernandez managed to make Barça the best team in Spain again during 2023 and that has given them worldwide recognition, but in this new year things are being very different
A trainer of the FC Barcelona, in this case Xavi Hernández, went back to be in the 'fight' by a prize to better trainer. In this case it went in the prizes TheBes t that delivers the FIFA in the beginning of every year, recognising the individual performance and community of players, players and trainers around the world. In the category of the masculine football was nominated in this opportunity the míster Catalan, and even brushed the podium.
In the final votes the egarense has finish fourth after winning his first two titles with the Barça, the Supercopa of Spain and LaLiga, and converting to the group culé in one of the best defensivamente of all the European elite during the first semester of the past 2023. This work, added to a correct beginning of the course 2023/24 have left him like the better chamber of the list, one that as it expected finish leading Pep Guardiola.
Xavi gave a first step during the 2023
Behind the technician of the Manchester City finished the Italian Luciano Spalletti , technician of the Naples champion of the Series To, and Simone Inzaghi, the one who has achieved this place thanks to classifying to the Inter of Milan for the final of the Champions. Xavi has received the same points (11) that Inzaghi and has surpassed to the Australian Ange Postecoglu, now technician of the Tottenham -before the Celtic-, by what even the Catalan could consider like the third better trainer of the past year, but in this 2024 the situation is being something different.
And it is that the vote to Xavi arrives in the most delicate moment for the technician of the Barça in more than a year after the hard defeat in the Supercopa in front of the Real Madrid. It seems to be a species of reminder, if it is that it did lacking any, that if Xavi wants to go back to be present in this type of these prizes and can join to the elite of the benches, his Barça will have to change the dynamics of the current season and complete a second part of the course more than positive.
Xavi does not have too margin for a change
The culés have still three titles more for contesting this season, but the reality is that the ideas seem to have fallen in a foso during the last weeks, and like this has reflected in front of his rival elder inside Spain. The Barça comes suffering to win, or empatar, each party and this recognition of the FIFA, where has been voted like the better second by players like Kylian Mbappé or Leo Messi, seem to be something extremely distant to what right now is able to show, by what needs a twist of script so prompt like this same week.
