Xavi's time at Barcelona
He led the club to a second-place finish that season, and in his first full season, the 2022/23 campaign, he steered the club to their first league title in three seasons.
Although the Blaugrana have enjoyed domestic success under Xavi, his European record leaves a lot to be desired.
He has been eliminated from the Champions League group stage twice as a Barcelona coach and has failed to win the subsequent Europa League on both occasions.
