Q & A

  • Why is Xavi Hernandez leaving Barcelona at the end of the season?

    -Xavi feels that the atmosphere around Barcelona has become too toxic and negative, making it difficult for him to continue. There is a lot of pressure and unrealistic expectations, and he believes the club needs a change in dynamics to move forward.

  • Who are the leading candidates to replace Xavi as Barcelona manager?

    -Some names being mentioned include Roberto De Zerbi, Thiago Motta and Rafa Marquez. However, it is still early and Barcelona will take their time to decide on the new manager.

  • What is the difference between how Barcelona and Liverpool are approaching their manager search?

    -Liverpool first need to hire a new sporting director, who will then appoint the new manager. Barcelona already have a director in place (Deco), so they can focus directly on selecting a new manager.

  • Is Xabi Alonso likely to become the next Liverpool manager?

    -Yes, Xabi Alonso is considered a top candidate for the Liverpool job and seems likely to be amongst their main targets.

  • What transfer business might Barcelona try to complete soon?

    -Barcelona are hoping to finalize a deal to sign Lucas Beral from Real Madrid in the coming days/weeks, despite the situation with Xavi leaving.

  • Was Xavi always expected to leave Barcelona at the end of the season?

    -According to reports, even if results had improved, Xavi was likely to be fired by Barcelona at the end of the season anyway.

  • What trophies could Xavi have won to potentially change the situation?

    -It's believed that only winning a major title like La Liga or Champions League could have significantly improved the atmosphere and dynamic around the club and saved Xavi's job.

  • How far behind are Barcelona in the La Liga title race?

    -Barcelona are about 10 points behind Real Madrid, making a La Liga title this season very unlikely.

  • Why does the narrator say it's easy to predict Xabi Alonso and De Zerbi as candidates?

    -Because Alonso and De Zerbi are both currently very successful managers, so it's logical they would be considered by top clubs like Liverpool and Barcelona.

  • What signing does Barcelona hope to complete soon?

    -Barcelona hope to finalize a deal for Lucas Beral from Real Madrid in the coming days/weeks.

😞 Chavi Hernandez announces he is leaving Barcelona at end of season due to toxic environment

Chavi Hernandez has officially announced he is leaving Barcelona as manager at the end of the current season. He cites the negative, toxic atmosphere around the club and team as the main reason. He tried to change the dynamics but with poor results, La Liga hopes fading, and a difficult Champions League path, he felt a change was needed. He may have been fired at season's end anyway. His departure sends a message about the difficult situation at Barcelona currently.

😕 Potential replacements like Xavi Alonso and Roberto De Zerby mentioned for Liverpool and Barcelona manager jobs

Names like Roberto De Zerby and Xavi Alonso are being mentioned as candidates for the Barcelona and Liverpool manager jobs opening up. But Barcelona will take time to decide on a shortlist after Chavi leaves. Liverpool needs a new sporting director first before appointing a manager. De Zerby could be an option for both clubs but there are other names likely being considered as well. It remains to be seen who Liverpool will choose after getting a director.

Mindmap

Keywords

💡dynamics

The word 'dynamics' refers to the interpersonal relationships, interactions, politics and power structures within the Barcelona football club. Chavi Hernandez says the club needs a 'change of dynamics', implying the environment has become too toxic and troubled, hence a reshuffling of interpersonal and organizational dynamics could help.

💡atmosphere

The 'atmosphere' around the Barcelona club, team and manager had turned very negative, tense and hostile. This toxic climate made it difficult for Chavi to function effectively and achieve success.

💡broken

Chavi felt that the relationship and trust between him and the Barcelona club was 'broken' beyond repair. The only way to fix it was through outstanding performances and titles.

💡reaction

By publicly stating he will leave Barcelona, Chavi created a 'reaction' - an intentional statement to shock the club system out of its inertia and negativity.

💡candidates

With both Barcelona and Liverpool needing new managers, names like 'Roberto De Zerby' and 'Chabi Alonso' are seen as strong 'candidates' or contenders for the posts.

💡director

While Barcelona already has a clear leadership and strategic direction under 'director' Deco, Liverpool is still looking for a new 'director' or head, before deciding on the manager.

💡restructure

Due to the exits of Chavi and Klopp as managers, both clubs need to 'restructure' and rebuild their leadership, strategies and internal dynamics.

💡process

Barcelona having a director in place can quickly begin the 'process' of selecting a new manager. Liverpool first needs to find a director, hence their hiring process will be longer.

💡signings

Despite losing its manager, Barcelona aims to continue player 'signings' like Lucas Bernal, to build squad strength for the future.

💡notification

The host Fabrio tells viewers to turn on 'notifications' for updates on future transfer movements involving managers and players at the two clubs.

play00:03

this club needs a change of Dynamics hey

play00:06

guys welcome back to the channel fabrio

play00:08

here as always to keep you posted on the

play00:09

transfer market and today guys we

play00:11

discuss the shocking news of Chavi

play00:13

Hernandez but also what's going on with

play00:16

chabby Alonso with Roberto De Zerby and

play00:18

some update for Barcelona also in terms

play00:20

of incomings let's jump into it

play00:28

together hey so guys the big bomb of the

play00:31

last 24 hours after Klo resigning at

play00:34

Liverpool for the end of the season of

play00:36

course the same will happen in Barcelona

play00:38

with Chad Hernandez because Chad

play00:41

officially announced that he's leaving

play00:43

Barca at the end of the season it's over

play00:47

it's over after a terrible game with v

play00:49

but in general the feeling of sour is

play00:51

close to bar and Chavi is that the

play00:53

atmosphere was quite toxic around the

play00:56

manager so chabi tried in every way to

play00:59

make things happened to make things work

play01:01

in the best way for Barcelona and for

play01:03

himself for his staff but things were

play01:05

not working um and it's also in terms of

play01:09

atmosphere around the team it's not just

play01:12

about chavey the players of course

play01:14

responsible for this situation too but

play01:17

in general the feeling is that since the

play01:19

beginning of the season the first

play01:20

friendly games Chavis started to feel

play01:23

that the wall environment around

play01:25

Barcelona as a club as a team was

play01:27

absolutely negative this is why chav

play01:29

Hernandez goes in public in the press

play01:32

conference and says this club needs a

play01:35

change of dynamic because he believes

play01:37

that in terms of press in terms of

play01:40

pressure in terms of press also so

play01:42

different factors chave believes that it

play01:45

was considered as something already

play01:47

broken between him and Barcelona

play01:49

probably the only way was to win a super

play01:51

important title to change the feeling

play01:53

but for laop re they are already out

play01:56

they lost the super cup and also

play01:58

important to say that for La Liga is not

play01:59

now 10 points almost impossible or very

play02:02

difficult and then there is Champions

play02:03

League but we know how strong are other

play02:06

teams and this is why chabi decided to

play02:09

go for a strong statement after one more

play02:12

defeat against B so this was the

play02:16

position of the manager his feeling is

play02:18

that probably the only way to shake the

play02:21

situation around the squad was to

play02:23

communicate his decision for the end of

play02:25

the season but also another important

play02:27

point is the feeling of those close to

play02:30

Chavi is that in any case at the end of

play02:32

the season Chavi was going to be fired

play02:35

and this is why probably the best

play02:38

decision to help all parties including

play02:39

himself to try to make something

play02:41

historical by winning the Champions

play02:43

League title and to help the team in a

play02:45

difficult moment was to send this kind

play02:47

of reaction and to announce that he's

play02:49

going to leave Barcelona at the end of

play02:51

the season so it's over for chav let's

play02:53

see what's going to be next the name of

play02:55

Roberto Des Zerby will be around for

play02:57

Liverpool for Barcelona guys it's very

play02:59

easy these days to mention the name of

play03:01

Roberto De Zerby for Bara and Liverpool

play03:03

the name of chabby Alonzo for Barcelona

play03:05

obviously they are candidates sorry CH

play03:08

alono for for Liverpool obviously they

play03:10

are candidates they are strong

play03:11

candidates around Europe because they're

play03:12

doing fantastic job but they can

play03:14

guarantee that in the case of Barcelona

play03:16

it will take time because it will be H

play03:18

La Porta but also other people in the

play03:19

board including Deco deciding all

play03:21

together on the new manager and in the

play03:23

case of Liverpool they want to find a

play03:25

new sporting director the big difference

play03:26

is that Liverpool already have a

play03:28

director Deco um sorry bar already have

play03:31

a director Deco Liverpool are working on

play03:34

a new director and then they will

play03:37

appoint a new manager so they have to

play03:39

restructure the board and then appoint

play03:41

the manager for Barcelona the director

play03:43

is deo and the manager is going to be

play03:45

decided so the process is going to be

play03:46

different Roberto rer could be a name in

play03:49

common an option in common for the two

play03:51

clubs but Barcelona are still taking

play03:53

their time before deciding the short

play03:54

list of managers for the future

play03:56

Liverpool are working on the new

play03:58

director and then they will go for the

play04:00

manager for sure shabi Alonso is a

play04:02

target for Liverpool is one of the names

play04:04

that they will consider 100% guaranteed

play04:07

for sure Roberto De Zerby is appreciated

play04:09

by people at the club but we have to see

play04:11

who's going to be the director and so

play04:12

what Liverpool will decide to do and

play04:14

there could be also other candidates so

play04:16

let's keep an eye on the Liverpool

play04:17

situation but I think chabby Alonso and

play04:19

the Zerby for sure will be two

play04:21

candidates it's very easy to predict

play04:22

they're doing fantastic and for

play04:24

Barcelona is not only the zby obviously

play04:25

there are other candidates the name of

play04:27

Thiago m is around from what hearing is

play04:30

not something that concrete as of today

play04:33

I think I can say that Chago mot is

play04:36

probably not a conrete candidate for

play04:38

Barcelona bench let's see if there's

play04:40

going to be some other candidate for

play04:42

example Rafa markets is around but is

play04:44

another name that at the moment is not

play04:45

that close to become the next barel

play04:47

manager I think there will be more names

play04:49

in the list of Barcelona and it will

play04:51

take some time so this is going to be

play04:53

interesting for sure but also keep an

play04:56

eye on signings for the future because

play04:59

Barcelona in the next hours in the next

play05:01

days will try to close the deal for

play05:03

Lucas beral from Darden for next season

play05:06

so to sign the player now for the summer

play05:09

this is not going to change this is a

play05:11

sign signing they want to do U despite

play05:13

the situation of Chavi Bara will keep

play05:15

working on the story for Lucas bergal

play05:17

and they feel they have a very good

play05:18

chance to sign bergal soon bergal this

play05:22

is very clear since long time wants to

play05:24

go to Barca and so after chave out a new

play05:27

player could be in for the future of

play05:29

Barcelona Lucas bman advancing very well

play05:33

and so guys let me know your thoughts on

play05:34
