Please can somebody give us Xavi's stats as a coach since he retired as a player?

We seem to know little about his antecedents. What formation he prefers? His tactics? His philosophy? etc
This vague hope and belief that a former legend player turn coach is the best may not always workout o. I just pray this experiment works sha.

Moura7:
How does this add up to what we're talking about?..the main post was about players goals plus assists in a calendar for the past 11yrs then you brought UCLs into the picture and I corrected you that UCL is a team trophy. If not you'd have put even the likes of Kovacic on 4 with Ronaldo and the whole Madrid. Now you've shifted to why his goals haven't won him as much UCLs as madrid that have13 ucls. Person wey e over hundred UCL goals don help barca get 4 ucl titles out of their total five.

The year barka won their second Ucl, Pessi scored only 1 goal in a 5-0 win in the group stage, how does that amount to help?

Ronaldo will always be the king of Ucl over the stat-padding midget

abduleez1:
Yea we know. Keep living in denial.


STAY PRESSED....

Well, with all due respect, the Qatar league is a weak one. You can't really work with whatever happens there.

Payporte:
Ole stats was impressive during his coaching career at molde but look at him now.

I wish xavi the best

GrammarNazi1:
When Messi was without a senior international trophy, critics yapped. Now that Messi defied the odds to win a major international trophy, critics said Lewandoski should win the Ballon d'Or in an international competition year.

Lol.

FirstbornWds:
Please. Let's not even start with that.


I feel bad for Xavi too though. Laporta, after his reelection early days clearly said he thought Xavi was still green and needed more experience. Suddenly, he thinks that he's the best thing to happen to the coaching department.


I really wish things turn out well for this man. I just cant bring myself to see Xavi being talked down upon abeg. I just can't.

abduleez1:
I don't have raw stats about his performance but I hear he's really good.

Anyways, those stats doesn't matter as it's the Qatari league. Nothing close to Europe. If he even coached at South America, the better.

It's his personal identity and mentality I want to gauge. If he can inspire confidence and superior ethos and discipline to the club.

Zidane shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence with a celebrated success like Pep.

Pep redefined the way football should play. Pep has managed in 3 different countries like Spain, Germany and England with resounding success. Pep is like the flagship when it comes to modern coaching.

Zidane? I dont even remember how a Zidane team plays. Cross and nod maybe. Yes he won a couple of UCLs but he won't go down as some of the greatest coach of this generation. Not great with tactics. Can't remember a revolutionary pattern that could be easily associated with his coaching style. I think he was lucky with the set of excellent players he already met on ground at Real Madrid, players almost at the cusp of success after being drilled by Mourinho and Ancelloti. He just led them to the finishing point.

But Pep is the best coach in the last 10 years. See the way ManCity is playing, you know this man always have a plan and he has the personality to transmit it to the players and change their mentality towards football.

FirstbornWds:


This is not true.


Winning the UCL three consecutive times isn't a small feat.

Pep might be ahead but it's not so bad to have him compared to Zidane. He's better but not by a long stretch.

jpmoriarti:
Well, we agree to disagree.

But remove all the UCLs won by both Zidane and Pep. Pep won 2 in 3 years. Zidane won 3 in 3 years. So not bad for both. Yet, lets strip the UCLs from both of them. Let's see what is left.

I can picture the image of Zidane quickly using his both hands to cover his groin region to hide the third leg that would be left dangling once the UCLs is stripped and thus exposing his unclothedness.

But Pep, you will see so much more. He has a style. He is a visionary and a revolutionist. He's a tactician and a sporting psychologist.

ALEXAPLAYME:
You have no brain, how many years has zidane and pep spent in their respective coaching career? Moreover pep started coaching before zizou

ALEXAPLAYME:
All these cules self nobody compare both of them this one from no where come to start to do comparison.


Just a simple sentence No other players turned manager can be like pep or zizou.

But you just from nowhere carry your blockhead come
