Barcelona's financial situation is far from ideal. Over these years, the club have been accused of signing players for huge amounts of money, making expensive contract renewal and Leo Messi constant pay rise. However, money has not just been spent on the pitch.
The Catalans have spent lots of money on the bench as well. On the last four coaches, including Xavi, 33 million euros have been spent on them, whether it be through dismissals or signings.
Ernesto Valverde got 11 eleven million euros in redundancy pay. And it could have been worse, since he accepted to give up one year of his salary. Quique Setien was the next to go and he is still waiting for four million euros he is owed.
Ronald Koeman was the last manager to be sacked. The Dutchman will get the 13 million euros he was due to be paid for the rest of his contract and now Xavi Hernandez has taken over.
The former Al Sadd boss has also cost the club money. Five million euros is what the club will have to pay the Qataris in the future and that will make it 33 million on four coaches.
