Former Arsenal star Santi Cazorla has criticized Barcelona for the poor treatment of Xavi Hernandez last season.
Recall that Xavi was sacked by the club before the tail end of last season.
Speaking with The Athletic, Carzola stated that Xavi should be allowed to continue as Barca manager.
“I know that Xavi feels the same way about Barcelona as I do about Oviedo. He came to the dugout at a low point, out of love for the club and because he wanted to help.
“He trusted young players who are now making their mark and are world-class, like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. He brought them back so they could fight for titles. But that wasn’t valued.
“They have been unfair to him and he has suffered a lot. I have spoken to him, he has had a very bad time. Now he wants to rest and spend time with his family. But in the future he will return to coaching.”
