Six years after leaving Camp Nou as a player, Xavi Hernandez will return home as manager of FC Barcelona. He will take over from interim and Barcelona B manager Sergi Bajuan who was installed after Ronald Koeman was shown the exit.

 

Xavi has a lot of responsibilities to tackle as Barcelona manager. The first of his assignments will be to create a perfect harmony between the youngsters, majorly La Masia graduates and the established stars, blending the two groups will be key to his success.

 

Barcelona currently have 11 players on the injury list, enough and evenly spread that it is a complete lineup, with this he would rely on the academy boys until January when he can make his signings, that which is made difficult by the current financial situation of the club, which gives a clue of his second assignment, find the right and affordable players so as to balance the wage structure of the club.

 

He obviously is a fan favourite and the club and will certainly get away with a few things other managers won't, however getting results will be high up on the list of things he must do because the club's fortune cannot be plunged further that it is without it becoming calamitous.
