Xavi started his managerial career in the best way possible. He beat Al Duhail in the Qatar Supercup and managed a good run of results.
However, the ex Barca and Spain player's luck has changed. Al Sadd have gone 3 games without a win, and they are also doing it at the worst time.
It is never the right time to have bad results, but it is a lot worse if you have to play away in the 2nd leg after losing 4-1 at home.
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was the start of a bad run, which got worse with a 4-2 defeat against Al Rayyan and then a 5-1 cup defeat to Al Wakrah.
