He came in as a manager but supported the players in their protest against a president who was just not the right fit for Barcelona.

4. Frank Rijkaard

Frank Rijkaard arrived at FC Barcelona in the year 2003 and stayed till 2008. He led the Blaugrana to their second ever UEFA Champions League trophy by beating Arsenal in the finals. The Dutch head coach also won the European Super Cup and two League titles, focusing mostly on a strong hold defense while apply pressure on the attacking front.

He managed Barcelona over the course of 283 matches out of which he won 167, lost 52 and drew the other 64. He left with a win percentage of over 59%!

3. Johann Cryuff

1. Pep Guardiola : Best Barcelona managers ever : BEST

Yes, he was the man who has transformed Barcelona again into one of the most dangerous teams in the world. It has been over 7 years since he left the club but his style of play has been imprinted so deep that Barcelona still follow it.

Moreover, there are now other clubs who follow the same model. The Guardiola effect has taken over the world and most clubs had no answer to his football for years.

Current Manager: Xavi

The Barcelona legend and current club manager Xavi has taken the managerial job last year and made quite the recovery in recent months. With Lionel Messi’s departure last summer, the club had a negative impact on their squad as fans and players were not prepared to for life without the Copa América winner.

He has helped to improve the morale and mood of the current squad and has brought the team to a Champions League qualifying spot in recent weeks. A Champions League qualification was his only aim in his debut season and has certainly nailed it with priority.
